Europa Tools Slot Drill - HSS-E 8% Cobalt - 2 Flute Short Uncoated - 8.5mm

The Europa Tools Slot Drill is a precision cutting tool designed for clean, accurate slotting in metalworking projects. Built for machinists who demand rigidity and long tool life, it combines a cobalt-enhanced HSS-E core with a compact 2-flute design to deliver consistent results.

• Diameter: 8.5 mm
• Flute design: 2-flute geometry for efficient material removal and reliable chip clearance
• Length: Short length to maximize rigidity and minimize deflection during cutting
• Material: HSS-E with 8% cobalt for enhanced hardness, heat resistance, and wear resistance
• Coating: Uncoated surface for improved chip evacuation and reduced friction
• Best uses: Precise slotting across a range of widths with stable, square slots

With its 8% cobalt-enriched HSS-E core, this slot drill handles higher cutting speeds and tougher materials while extending tool life and preserving precision. The short, rigid form minimizes deflection under load, producing consistent slot widths and clean edges from the first cut to the last. The uncoated finish enhances chip flow and reduces heat buildup, supporting reliable performance over longer runs. Ideal for creating precise pockets, keyways, or narrow slots in steel, aluminum, and other metals, this tool delivers dependable results in demanding machining scenarios.
