Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS - Black Coated - 8.5mm

Meet the Europa Tools Long Series Drill in High-Speed Steel (HSS) with a durable Black Oxide finish, a precise 8.5mm diameter built for demanding drilling tasks. This isn’t just another drill bit—it’s a purpose‑built tool designed to deliver consistent holes, even in tight spaces and deeper workpieces.

Extended reach that makes a difference

The long series design adds practical reach for deep hole drilling where standard bits struggle. Whether you’re working on thick materials, recessed cavities, or assemblies with limited access, this drill bit maintains straight, true alignment to help you finish tasks faster and with cleaner results.

HSS core + Black Oxide coating for reliability

Constructed from high-speed steel, the Europa long‑series drill combines strength, heat resistance, and dependable cutting performance. The black oxide coating reduces friction and enhances corrosion resistance, which translates to longer tool life and less downtime for maintenance or replacements on busy job sites.

Versatility across common materials

Designed to handle a range of everyday drilling jobs, this 8.5mm drill is well suited for drilling into metal, wood, and common plastics. When drilling metal, pairing the bit with appropriate cutting lubrication and steady feed pressure helps manage heat and preserve edge sharpness for repeated use. For wood and composites, the same bit delivers clean, precise holes with minimal wandering.

Why this drill bit stands out

• Precise diameter: 8.5mm for consistent hole size across projects.
• Long series geometry: enhanced reach to access hard‑to‑reach areas without sacrificing accuracy.
• HSS with black oxide: robust cutting edge, improved wear resistance, and superior surface protection against corrosion.
• Versatile performance: suitable for metal, wood, and common plastics, making it a reliable choice in mixed‑material workflows.

Practical tips for optimal results

To maximize performance and tool life, follow these best practices:

• Use appropriate speed and feeds for the material you’re drilling; metals typically require slower speeds and steady pressure, while wood can tolerate faster feeds.
• Apply a light cut lubricant or cutting oil when drilling metal to reduce heat and prevent edge dulling.
• Begin with a light pilot mark to guide the bit, then advance smoothly to avoid deflection, especially in thicker workpieces.
• Keep the drill bit cool and clean; wipe away chips frequently to prevent buildup that can affect hole quality.
• Store in a dry environment to maintain the protective coating and edge integrity for longer life.

Built for professionals and serious DIYers who demand dependable performance, the Europa Tools Long Series Drill—HSS, Black Coated, 8.5mm—delivers consistent holes, extended reach, and durable precision in a single, trusted tool. Add it to your drill‑bit collection and tackle deeper, more challenging projects with confidence.
