Dormer Pramet

Dormer Pramet, a global manufacturer and supplier of tools for the metal cutting industry, showcased several newly launched high-performance grades for milling hard materials and for precision thread turning. The new milling grades – M4303 and M4310 – provide durability and reliability in semi-finishing and finishing applications. Each is designed for high speed milling for the die and mould segment, offering consistent wear and longer tool life. An ultra-thin PVD coating increases cutting-edge toughness, while its substrate provides high hardness and strength of cutting edge, preventing fracture by chipping.

Created within the company’s Pramet range, the M4303 replaces the previous 7205 grade and provides superior wear resistance. It has been developed for hardened steel above 55HRC and cast iron, but can also be used for machining steels and non-ferrous metals.

The M4310 takes over from the existing 7215 grade and offers an optimum balance of toughness and wear resistance in hardened steel and cast iron. It can also be used for machining stainless steel, steels and non-ferrous metals.

Ahuja says, “We have changed the way we present our tools over the last few exhibitions. Now we display ISO material, so if the machine is stainless steel or steel then this display will help the operator find the releavant tools. We have brought both round tools and indexables and showcased all of them.”

It has announced a high wear resistant grade for thread turning. The new T8010 is ideal for continuous high precision thread turning of steels, stainless steel, cast iron and super alloys.
