Since its founding in 1952, the Precision Twist Drill brand of cutting tools has represented both reliability and quality to its broad user base. This standard continues with a selection of HSS drills and carbide rotary burs designed specifically to meet the needs of the maintenance and repair professional. Branded as PRECISIONLIGHT, this program of drills and burs will provide affordable reliability together with a level of service and support consistent with that of the balance of the Dormer Pramet broad product offering.

The HSS drill program includes screw machine, jobber, mechanics lengths and reduced shank. Providing both versatility and performance in a variety of materials, the program contains conventional 118-degree point geometries as well as 135-degree self-centering split points for more challenging applications. The range will cover most ferrous applications suitable for use in portable drilling, drill presses and other operations.

The carbide rotary bur range consists of two new material specific geometries. The Double Cut (DC) geometry is suitable for machining steels, while the Aluminum Cut (FM) is for machining aluminum and other nonferrous materials. Available in a variety of shapes, both offer improved operator control and generate less temperature which, in turn, increases tool life and productivity. These designs offer improved performance and up to 50 percent higher metal-removal rates, compared to standard carbide burs. In addition, the Type A, B, C or D fiberglass routers (FGR) are for machining fiberglass and composite materials.

Both HSS drills and carbide rotary burs are available in sets.
