Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 3.2mm

When reach and reliability matter most, the Europa Tools Long Series Drill in HSS CO8 with a straw-coated finish stands up to demanding drilling tasks. This long-series design is purpose-built for extended reach, enabling clean, precise holes in deeper workpieces, pockets, and hard-to-access areas without swapping tools.

Crafted from premium HSS CO8, this 3.2 mm drill bit combines the hardness of cobalt-enhanced high-speed steel with excellent heat resistance. The result is sustained edge retention and consistent performance when drilling tougher metals—stainless steel, hardened alloys, or dense cast iron—while maintaining tight tolerances and smooth starts.

The straw-coated finish isn’t just aesthetic; it actively improves tool life and cutting efficiency. By reducing friction and minimizing built-up edge, the coating helps you maintain sharper cuts for longer, even under high-temperature conditions. This translates to fewer interruptions for sharpening and a longer service life in both workshop and professional settings.

• Long-series geometry provides extended reach for deep holes, through-thickness drilling, and complex assemblies.
• 3.2 mm diameter delivers precise, clean holes suitable for small fasteners, electrical components, and accurate mechanical fits.
• HSS CO8 material offers superior hardness and heat tolerance for tough metals and repeated drilling cycles.
• Straw-coated finish reduces friction, enhances wear resistance, and promotes consistent cutting performance over time.
• Versatile applications ideal for stainless steel, alloy steel, aluminum, and similar materials encountered in fabrication, maintenance, and precision engineering.

Pro tips for optimal results: apply a light cutting lubricant to manage heat, use steady, controlled feed pressure, and periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips—especially important with long-series drills. For deeper holes, start with a pilot hole if needed, maintain proper spindle speed for the material, and let the flute design evacuate chips efficiently to prevent binding and extend tool life.
