Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS - Black Coated - 8.7mm

Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS - Black Coated - 8.7mm is a premium drilling bit built to tackle demanding tasks with confidence. The long series design delivers extended reach for deep holes in tight spaces, making it a reliable choice for fabricators, maintenance technicians, and DIY enthusiasts who need a bit that won’t quit halfway through a job.

Crafted from high-speed steel (HSS), this drill bit combines durability with sharp, efficient cutting performance. The HSS core maintains strength under higher cutting speeds and provides reliable tool life when drilling through a variety of materials, from metals to tougher plastics. The sleek black coated finish adds a professional look while enhancing performance characteristics commonly associated with modern coated bits.

Key benefits you’ll notice in real-world use include:

• Extended reach for deep holes: The long series geometry lets you reach into cavities, channels, and recessed workpieces where standard bits struggle. This is especially valuable in automotive, plumbing, and metal fabrication tasks where hole depth matters.
• Consistent cutting action with HSS: High-speed steel provides dependable wear resistance and maintains a brisk cutting edge, delivering clean starts and smooth hole formation across a range of materials.
• Black coating for protection and efficiency: The black coated finish not only looks the part but also contributes to tool life by reducing surface friction during drilling, which helps minimize heat buildup in tough metals.
• Diameter precision and versatility: At 8.7 mm, this drill bit is well-suited for through-holes, counterboring steps, and as a reliable middle-ground size in professional kits, enabling precise hole sizing without switching tools mid-project.
• Designed for common drill chucks: The standard long-series form integrates smoothly with most drill chucks and fixtures, making it a drop-in upgrade for existing toolsets.

Usage tips for best results: start with a light pilot mark to guide the bit, use steady feed pressure, and maintain appropriate cutting speeds for the material you’re drilling. When drilling metals, a light lubrication or cutting fluid can extend bit life and improve finish quality, especially for deeper holes. For deep-hole tasks, clear chips regularly to prevent binding and maintain smooth cutting progress.

Why choose this long-series HSS drill for your toolbox? It’s specifically tailored for professional-grade durability and extended reach, enabling you to complete deeper holes without swapping to a longer, more fragile bit. It’s a practical choice for builders, machinists, and shop setups that demand reliable performance from a single, versatile drill bit.
