Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 2.5mm

Meet the Europa Tools Long Series Drill in HSS CO8 with a Straw Coated finish—built for precision, endurance, and extended reach in demanding metalworking tasks. This 2.5 mm drill is engineered to deliver clean starts, steady performance, and reliable hole quality when depth matters.

Why this long-series drill stands out: the extended flute length and overall geometry are designed to reach deep into thick materials without the need for adapters or extensions. The 8% cobalt HSS CO8 alloy provides superior hardness and heat resistance, so the cutting edge stays sharper longer even under higher cutting speeds and tougher metals. When you’re drilling through steel, stainless steel, cast iron, or mixed alloys, you’ll notice steadier progress and consistent hole dimensions.

The straw-coated finish isn’t just aesthetic. It reduces friction between the drill and workpiece, minimizes built-up edge, and improves wear resistance. That means cooler operation, fewer interruptions for sharpening, and more holes per setup—ideal for production runs or detailed fabrication where reliability matters.

Key benefits at a glance:

• Long-series design for extended reach and deep-hole capability with a single tool
• HSS CO8 composition (8% cobalt) for enhanced hardness and heat tolerance
• Straw-coated finish to lower friction and extend tool life
• Precision-ground tip and optimized geometry for accurate starts and clean holes
• Versatile performance across common metals: mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys
• 2.5 mm diameter, ideal for precise, small-diameter drilling tasks and pilot holes

Practical usage tips to maximize results

• Secure the workpiece and use a drill press or stable handheld setup to maintain true alignment
• Use a light cutting fluid or mineral oil to reduce heat buildup and extend edge life
• Begin with a light touch to establish engagement, then feed steadily to avoid wandering
• For deep holes, periodically withdraw the drill to clear chips and prevent clogging

Who benefits most from the Europa Tools Long Series Drill? professionals and hobbyists who need dependable, small-diameter drilling with extra reach—whether fabricating metal parts, creating precise pilot holes for assemblies, or performing maintenance tasks in tight or deep workpieces.
