Ricky Payling, Product Manager for Drilling Tools, said, “Combining these features ensures consistency of cutting forces throughout the drilling process, resulting in less or no increase in power demand when machining deeper holes, so the drill bit does not affect Lifetime has faster cutting speed, higher performance and reliability.

The special round-corner design provides better protection against wear and breakage. It is specially prepared for machining under harsh conditions, such as cross-hole machining. The 140-degree angle design makes centering and cutting thrust reduction easier.

The R459 also has protection against premature wear and flaking. In addition, the inner cooling holes provide better cooling at the cutting location and efficient chip evacuation, reducing downtime.

The current size of Dormer's R459 is from 3mm–16mm, including 0.1mm increments to 10.0mm, with a titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) coating.

Ricky added: "MP-X drills with 8xD bits enhance our customers' choices and provide reliable, flexible and cost-effective solutions."

R459 is already in the new sample of the Dormer 2015. The 8xD drill will be officially launched on January 1, 2015.
