Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 3mm

The Europa Tools Long Series Drill in HSS CO8 with a Straw Coated finish is built for serious metalworking tasks where depth and durability matter. The long-series design delivers extended reach for deep, accurate holes in hard-to-access workpieces, helping you complete projects without repositioning or flipping the workpiece. This isn’t a standard drill bit—it’s designed to tackle deeper holes with consistent geometry and clean exits.

Premium material for demanding cuts — Made from HSS CO8 cobalt-enhanced steel, this drill bit combines high-speed steel’s hardness with the added wear resistance of cobalt. That means sharper edges for longer and the ability to maintain an efficient cut even when you’re drilling tougher materials or higher heat, reducing the need for frequent resharpening.

Straw-coated finish for durability and smoother machining — The straw coating isn’t just cosmetic; it provides an added layer of wear resistance and reduces friction during drilling. This translates to cooler operation, less galling, and an extended tool life in challenging applications.

Versatile performance across materials — While optimized for demanding metalwork, HSS Co8 long-series drills handle a wide range of materials with controlled cutting action. Expect reliable performance on stainless steel, alloys, and other ferrous substrates, especially in long-reach drilling scenarios where consistent hole quality matters. For best results, pair with appropriate feeds and speeds and use cutting fluid or coolant as needed to manage heat buildup.

Ideal use cases — Deep pocket drilling in machinery housings, stepped assemblies, or fixtures where access is limited; precise pilot and through-holes in stainless steel components; and reinforcement or prototype work requiring consistent, straight holes with minimal wander. This is the kind of drill bit that steadies your most exacting projects, reducing rework and improving throughput.

Brand assurance and design integrity — Europa Tools specializes in high-performance hole-making solutions with long-length geometry and cobalt-enhanced alloys designed for longevity in professional shops. The combination of long length, HSS CO8 composition, and the straw coating sets this drill apart for durable, repeatable results in real-world workflows.
