A new issue of Dormer’s
global newsletter – D.World –
is now available. In this latest
edition, customers discuss
how they each overcame
machining challenges.

Among these, Ortosintese,
a Brazilian manufacturer of
medical implants, needed to
reduce drilling time involved
in the manufacture of an
orthopaedic prosthesis. The
high tensile strength of the
workpiece caused excessive
tool wear, meaning the
cutting data had to be
reduced significantly. Dormer
recommended its R567 CDXInox
drill – a tool designed
specifically for machining
stainless steels and exotic
alloys. The results speak for
themselves: feed rate tripled,
time per hole fell by 70% and
tool life increased by more
than ten-times, resulting in
annual tool consumption
savings of 68%.
