Dormer Pramet has expanded its cutting-tool portfolio with new high-performance turning, milling, drilling and holder solutions designed to boost productivity and durability in demanding machining environments. The additions target manufacturers working with steel, stainless steel and cast iron and combine advanced coatings, optimized geometries and cost-efficient insert design to deliver stability, consistent productivity and longer tool life.
“These new turning and solid end milling products reflect our continued focus on performance, reliability and practical innovation. By combining advanced materials with intelligent design, we are helping manufacturers machine with greater confidence and control,” Brian Davis, vice president of PM and R&D at Dormer, said.
The company introduced the T9425 turning grade, which combines a functional gradient substrate with an MT-CVD coating and features a textured α-Al2O3 layer, post-treatment stability and gold TiN-coated flanks for easy wear detection; Dormer Pramet says the grade offers outstanding wear resistance and consistent performance in steel and stainless-steel applications. The T5405 CVD turning grade is engineered for high-productivity machining of gray cast iron and provides enhanced wear resistance, heat stability and reliable performance at high cutting speeds.
The new ML chipbreaker is intended for medium steel applications and delivers precise chip control and smooth, stable performance at low depths of cut and medium-to-high feeds; when paired with T9425 or T9415 grades, the company says it ensures reliable productivity in automotive, bearing and general engineering environments.
The G8415 grade combines a next-generation multi-layer PVD coating with a TiBN sliding top layer to deliver wear resistance and stable performance across steels, stainless steel, cast iron and hardened materials, and Dormer Pramet positions it for parting-off, grooving and profiling with smooth chip flow and extended tool life.
Dormer Pramet also expanded its solid carbide end mill offering with the S9xx range, adding 204 new square and corner-radius cutters in metric and inch sizes and varied flute lengths; the TiAlN-coated cutters feature optimized flute geometry to enhance process reliability and extend tool life in milling steel, stainless steel and cast iron.
The company’s Force drilling portfolio now includes Force X Generation 2 solid carbide drills for reliable performance in ISO P, M and K materials, Force Micro Drills for high-precision micro applications from 0.7–2.95 mm, and Force Deep Hole Drills engineered for drilling up to 20xD with efficient chip evacuation and strong positional accuracy.
On the tooling-holder side, Dormer Pramet introduced Polygon Shank Coupling (PSC) holders as a modular and economical solution for external radial turning that are compatible with existing BS blades and designed for right- or left-hand assembly, increasing versatility without requiring additional blade investment.
The new ISO S holders for internal turning feature integrated coolant supply for more stable tool life and extended lengths to support deep-hole machining and hard-to-reach internal geometries; selected previous tool types will be discontinued as these holders are introduced.
