The new T5405 CVD turning grade has been developed for high-productivity machining of gray cast iron.

The grade features an advanced coating and precision-ground seating face. Dormer Pramet says these features are intended to provide wear resistance, heat stability and consistent performance at high cutting speeds under stable cutting conditions.

For manufacturers machining cast iron components, the grade adds another dedicated option to the company’s turning portfolio.

ML Chipbreaker for Medium Steel Applications

Dormer Pramet has also introduced the ML chipbreaker, designed for medium steel applications.

The geometry is intended to provide controlled chip formation and stable machining performance at low depths of cut and medium-to-high feeds.

The ML chipbreaker can be paired with the T9425 and T9415 grades and is positioned for applications including automotive, bearing and general engineering environments.

Effective chip control is an important part of reliable turning operations because uncontrolled chips can interfere with the machining process and affect production consistency.

G8415 Grade for Parting, Grooving and Profiling

The new G8415 grade combines a next-generation multi-layer PVD coating with a TiBN sliding top layer.

It is designed for parting-off, grooving and profiling applications across:

Steel
Stainless steel
Cast iron
Hardened materials

Dormer Pramet says the grade is designed to provide wear resistance, stable performance, smooth chip flow and extended tool life in demanding applications.

Expanded S9xx Solid Carbide End Mill Range

The company’s milling portfolio has also been expanded through the S9xx solid carbide end mill range.

The expansion adds 204 new square and corner-radius cutters covering metric and inch sizes as well as different flute lengths.

The cutters feature TiAlN coating and optimized flute geometry and are designed for applications involving:

Steel
Stainless steel
Cast iron

The expanded range is intended to provide durable and reliable performance across demanding milling operations while offering manufacturers a wider selection of tool configurations.

For machining operations involving different component geometries and cutting conditions, having multiple cutter sizes and flute lengths can help manufacturers select a tool suited to the specific application.

New Force Drilling Solutions

Dormer Pramet has expanded its drilling portfolio with three additions: Force X Generation 2, Force Micro and Force Deep Hole Drills (DHD).

Force X Generation 2

The Force X Generation 2 solid carbide drills are designed for applications involving ISO P, M and K materials.

The range is intended to provide reliable drilling performance across these material groups.

Force Micro

The new Force Micro Drills are designed for high-precision micro-drilling applications.

The range covers diameters from 0.7 mm to 2.95 mm.

Small-diameter drilling requires careful control of tool stability, positioning and chip evacuation, making dedicated micro-drilling solutions important for precision machining applications.

Force Deep Hole Drills

The Force Deep Hole Drills (DHD) are engineered for drilling depths of up to 20×D.

According to Dormer Pramet, the drills are designed with efficient chip evacuation and strong positional accuracy in mind.

Deep-hole drilling can present particular challenges because increasing drilling depth can make chip evacuation and tool stability more demanding. The DHD range addresses these requirements within the company’s drilling portfolio.

PSC Holders for External Radial Turning

Dormer Pramet is also introducing Polygon Shank Coupling (PSC) holders for external radial turning.

The holders provide a modular and economical tooling solution and are compatible with existing BS blades.

They can be assembled for either right- or left-hand applications.

According to Dormer Pramet, this compatibility provides additional versatility without requiring an additional investment in blades.

New S Holders for Internal Turning

The new ISO S holders are designed for internal turning operations.

They feature an integrated coolant supply intended to support stable tool life during machining.

Extended-length versions are available for applications involving deep holes and difficult-to-reach internal geometries.

Dormer Pramet also states that selected previous tool types will be discontinued with the introduction of the new S holders.

Dormer Pramet: Focus on Performance and Practical Innovation

Commenting on the new products, Brian Davis, Vice President of PM and R&D at Dormer Pramet, said:

“These new turning and solid end milling products reflect our continued focus on performance, reliability and practical innovation. By combining advanced materials with intelligent design, we are helping manufacturers machine with greater confidence and control.”

The statement reflects the company’s stated focus on combining material technology, tooling geometry and practical design to address machining requirements.

Dormer Pramet and AMB Stuttgart 2026

The product expansion is particularly relevant to the European machine-tool industry as AMB Stuttgart 2026 approaches.

Dormer Pramet is among the companies associated with the global metalworking and machining industry surrounding the event. For Machina Today’s AMB coverage, the company’s latest tooling developments represent an important area to follow as manufacturers, machine-tool builders and cutting-tool suppliers meet in Stuttgart.

Important editorial note: the specific products that will be displayed or demonstrated at AMB should only be stated once confirmed through an official Dormer Pramet or AMB source.

This distinction is important because a product launch and an exhibition display are not automatically the same thing.

Why These New Cutting Tools Matter to Manufacturers

The latest portfolio additions cover several fundamental machining requirements:

Longer tool life

Several of the new grades and tool designs are developed with wear resistance and tool-life optimization in mind.

Process stability

Consistent cutting performance is particularly important in production machining, where unexpected tool changes can interrupt operations.

Chip control

The ML chipbreaker and several of the new drilling and turning solutions address chip formation or evacuation as part of the overall machining process.

Broader tooling flexibility

The expanded S9xx range and new PSC and S holders provide additional configurations for different milling and turning requirements.

Machina Today Analysis

Dormer Pramet’s latest portfolio expansion shows the continued importance of cutting-tool development in modern CNC machining.

While machine tools continue to become more automated and digitally connected, the cutting tool remains directly responsible for the interaction between the machine and the workpiece.

Insert grade, coating, geometry, chip control and tooling configuration can all influence the machining process.

For manufacturers, this means tooling selection remains an important part of the broader production strategy.

The new Dormer Pramet portfolio addresses this from several directions — turning grades, chipbreakers, solid carbide milling tools, drilling systems and modular holders.

Rather than focusing on one machining operation, the expansion provides solutions across multiple stages of the metal-cutting process.

As manufacturers continue to look for reliable and productive machining processes, developments such as these will remain an important part of the global machine-tool ecosystem.
