Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 2.2mm

Introducing the Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 2.2mm. Built for depth and precision, this drill bit blends extended reach with hard-wearing materials to power through demanding projects with consistent, clean results.

• Long-series design for extended reach: A longer flute length than standard bits lets you drill deeper into recessed areas or through thick sections without losing alignment or needing awkward setups.
• Premium HSS CO8 construction: Cobalt-enriched high-speed steel delivers superior hardness and heat resistance, maintaining cutting performance across a broad material range including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and some plastics.
• Straw-coated finish: The distinctive straw coating reduces friction and enhances wear resistance, contributing to longer tool life and smoother chip evacuation in tough drilling tasks.
• Precise 2.2 mm bore: Ideal for pilot holes, delicate fittings, or applications where a tight, consistent diameter is essential.
• Versatile, reliable performer: A practical choice for fabrication shops, automotive work, and DIY setups where you need one dependable drill bit that handles metal, wood, and plastic materials with ease.

Who should reach for this bit? Professionals who routinely drill deep holes in hard materials, hobbyists tackling metalworking projects, or any workshop where precision and durability are non-negotiable. The long-series profile minimizes wandering and provides steady cutting action, reducing the risk of chatter or breakage when depth and reach are required.

Tips for best results:

• Secure your workpiece and maintain a clear exit path to prevent snagging as you approach depth.
• Use a light cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling metals to manage heat and extend edge life.
• Start with a gentle feed to establish a clean pilot hole, then advance steadily to preserve hole integrity.
