Spot-weld drilling simplified using Dormer Pramet A-series

Dormer Pramet has developed a range of tools for drilling spot welds to release steel panels and sheets in garage body shops. A-series drills come in a number of standard sizes to suit common spot welds found in the vehicle and trailer repair industry.

Manufactured from high speed cobalt, the A723 drill, offers high hot hardness to retain a sharp cutting edge under extreme conditions. A special lip and spur point geometry provide positive centring, while the sharp outer corners cut the softer material surrounding the spot weld. The drills feature a strong web for additional strength and improved penetration in tough conditions.

Dormer’s latest drills are available in a number of standard sizes. Suitable for drilling thin sheet steel and panels, the A123 range features a 120° point geometry with a short flute to provide easy penetration and rigidity in portable applications. A double-ended version (A119) is also available.
