Europa Tools Slot Drill - HSS-E 8% Cobalt Uncoated - 2 Flute High Helix - 2.5mm

The Europa Tools Slot Drill is a high‑performance HSS‑E (8% cobalt) slot drill designed for precise slot milling and pocketing on mills and CNC centers. Built for demanding materials, it delivers durable performance and clean results in a compact 2.5 mm diameter.

• Diameter: 2.5 mm
• Material: HSS‑E with 8% cobalt for enhanced hardness and wear resistance
• Coating: Uncoated for reduced friction and efficient chip flow
• Flutes: 2‑flute design for strong core rigidity and efficient material removal
• Helix: High helix angle to improve chip evacuation and reduce clogging
• Geometry: Slot drill geometry optimized for clean slotting and pocketing
• Applications: Effective in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and various alloys
• Machining compatibility: Suitable for both traditional milling machines and CNC machining centers

This tool is purpose‑built to tackle tough machining scenarios: the 8% cobalt composition boosts hot hardness for extended tool life, while the high‑helix, 2‑flute design ensures smooth cutting with excellent chip clearance. The uncoated finish minimizes friction, helping maintain steady feeds and producing cleaner slots and better surface finish. Ideal for engineers and machinists aiming for precise slot dimensions, reduced recutting risk, and reliable performance across a range of common machining materials.
