Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 6.8mm

Europa Tools Long Series Drill in HSS CO8 with Straw Coated finish is built for serious metalworking tasks where depth, precision, and reliability matter. This is not a common drill bit—it’s a purposefully engineered solution that combines extended reach, tough materials, and a coating designed to extend tool life in demanding environments.

Extended reach for deep or hard‑to‑access holes — the long series geometry provides ample flute length and stability, enabling you to bore deeper holes without sacrificing accuracy. Whether you're drilling into thick steel sections, alloy components, or fatigued hardware, you’ll notice steadier starts and cleaner holes than with standard short bits.

Premium HSS CO8 composition delivers superior heat resistance and edge retention, making this drill suitable for a broad spectrum of materials. The cobalt-enriched matrix helps maintain sharpness under higher cutting speeds and tougher workpieces, reducing time spent on re‑sharpening and interruptions on the shop floor.

Straw coated finish for wear resistance and reliability — the straw oxide treatment not only provides a distinctive look but also enhances wear resistance and chip control. The coating helps manage heat buildup at the cutting edge, promoting longer tool life and steadier performance across multiple work sessions.

Designed for professionals and serious hobbyists who demand consistency, the 6.8 mm diameter drill can tackle a wide range of metals, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non‑ferrous materials, when paired with proper feeds and speeds. The result is accurate starts, smooth hole walls, and reliable hole diameters every time.

Why choose the Europa Tools Long Series Drill over shorter bits? The combination of a deep flute length and robust HSS CO8 core reduces deflection, minimizes chatter in deep holes, and supports you through extended drilling sequences. This means fewer bit changes, fewer reworks, and more productive sessions in fabrication, maintenance, and repair tasks.

Ideal use cases — automotive and machinery maintenance, bracket and chassis drilling, aerospace component fabrication, and metalworking projects that require precise, deep drilling with durable performance. It’s a true workhorse for workshops where reliability and longevity matter as much as precision.

Practical tips for best results — pair with appropriate cutting fluid, start at a conservative speed and gradually increase as the hole depth grows, and avoid excessive feed that could cause deflection. Maintain consistent lubrication to extend the coating’s life and preserve edge sharpness across challenging materials.

With the Europa Tools Long Series Drill, you’re investing in a reliable, high‑performance tool designed to deliver consistent holes, longer tool life, and fewer interruptions in demanding metalworking tasks.
