Europa Tools Slot Drill - HSS-E 8% Cobalt Uncoated - 2 Flute High Helix - 18mm

Europa Tools Slot Drill – HSS-E 8% Cobalt Uncoated – 2 Flute High Helix – 18 mm diameter is built for precise slotting in metalworking. Designed for professionals using milling machines or CNC centres, it delivers reliable cuts, long tool life, and consistent results.

• Diameter: 18 mm
• Material: HSS-E with 8% cobalt (uncoated) for enhanced heat and wear resistance
• Flute configuration: 2-flute design with a high-helix geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Coating: Uncoated surface to reduce friction and improve chip flow
• Chip clearance: High helix angle and dual-flute setup minimize chip recutting for smoother material removal
• Applications: Ideal for slotting in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other alloys
• Machinery compatibility: Suitable for both milling machines and CNC machining centres

This slot drill is engineered to deliver clean, accurate slots with a superior surface finish. The 8% cobalt content boosts durability under high-speed cutting and in challenging materials, helping you extend tool life and maintain consistent performance across jobs. The combination of a two-flute design and a high-helix angle provides rapid chip clearance and reduces the risk of recutting, supporting smooth operation and efficient material removal—even in deeper slots. The uncoated surface minimizes friction, supporting efficient chip flow and cooler cutting, which translates to better control and repeatable results on steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other alloys.
