In recognition of the growing need for specialised tooling, Dormer has introduced a new special tools service for solid carbide drills – marketed under the name “D.Rapid”.
A key feature of this service is the generation of a drawing and price within 24 hours of receipt of a Request for Quotation (RFQ), with a total manufacturing lead-time of ten working days.
To ensure a highly accurate and efficient quotation service, a user-friendly data input form has been produced with clearly-defined parameters to facilitate the quotation procedure.
Customers can select from an extensive range of features to suit their specific requirements, including a wide choice of surface treatments, single or double margin, numerous shank types, solid design or internal coolant and up to three cutting diameters on one drill.
Dave Poole, Product Manager for Engineered Products at Dormer, said “D.Rapid acknowledges just how crucial timely delivery of both quotations and the finished product can be for customers. The fastest method of despatch is used to ensure quickest possible turnaround, whilst no minimum order quantity is required.
“The system also allows instant retrieval of data from previous quotes, negating the need to re-key data.”
As Dormer continue to widen their service offering in response to the changing needs of the special tools market, future developments will include a similar service for end mills and taps.
