Dormer Pramet has launched a catalog app detailing its comprehensive program of indexable tools for milling, turning and hole-making applications.
Created specifically for the North American market, the interactive app allows users to browse and download its new 500-page product catalog.
It provides an overview of tool geometries and insert grades, as well as technical advice and tips, directly onto a mobile device. A number of design features have been developed within the app to make choosing the right product as simple as possible.
These include:
• Multilingual setting (American English/Spanish/French)
• Both Metric and Imperial size products (specifically for North America)
• Ability to create your own personal catalog by setting pages as favorites
• Easy-to-use product search option
• Large thumbnails to speed up navigation
• Easily accessible technical support and information
• Option to download the full catalog (pdf format)
The app supports the recent launch of the company's Pramet line of indexable tooling and publication of a printed catalog in April.
Suitable for a wide range of general machining applications, the versatile program consists of turning, milling and holemaking inserts and holders. Products include tooling for external and internal turning, such as heavy roughing operations, recessing, parting-off and copy turning — milling cutters and indexable drills with carbide inserts.
Combining this with its comprehensive round tool program, through their Precision Twist Drill, Union Butterfield, Master and Dormer brands, Dormer Pramet is now a full-line cutting tool "One-Stop-Shop."
The catalog app can be found by typing "Pramet" into the search function. It is free to download and available for iOS devices on iTunes and for Android on Google Play.

- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
- recessing
recessing
A turning operation in which a groove is produced on the periphery or inside a hole of a workpiece. The grooving tool moves at right angles to the axis of rotation.
- turning
turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
- twist drill
twist drill
Most common type of drill, having two or more cutting edges, and having helical grooves adjacent thereto for the passage of chips and for admitting coolant to the cutting edges. Twist drills are used either for originating holes or for enlarging existing holes. Standard twist drills come in fractional sizes from 1¼16" to 11¼2", wire-gage sizes from 1 to 80, letter sizes A to Z and metric sizes.
