Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 7.1mm

Introducing the Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 7.1mm, a high-performance drill bit engineered to tackle demanding metalworking tasks with precision and reliability. Built around a cobalt-enriched high-speed steel core, this drill delivers enhanced heat resistance and edge retention, making it your go-to choice for robust drilling applications.

Extended reach for deep, clean holes

The long-series flute design provides extended reach without sacrificing rigidity. Whether you’re drilling deep through a thick plate or accessing recessed workpieces, this drill bit maintains straight, accurate holes with minimal wandering. Ideal for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys where depth and accuracy matter.

Straw-coated finish for durability and efficiency

The distinctive straw coating reduces friction between the bit and the material, helping to carry away chips more efficiently and dissipate heat under load. That friction reduction translates to cooler cutting, slower wear, and longer tool life, so you can complete more holes between sharpens or replacements.

7.1mm precision for dependable results

With a precise 7.1mm diameter, this drill bit delivers consistent hole size and clean edges across a range of projects—from component mounting to quick prototypes. The combination of CO8 cobalt alloy and the straw finish provides a dependable balance of speed, durability, and hole quality in metalworking environments.

Who benefits most

Ideal for professional machinists, workshop technicians, and serious DIYers working in fabrication, automotive repair, machinery maintenance, and fabrication prototyping. If you regularly drill thicker materials or require deeper holes with fewer passes, this long series drill is designed to outperform standard bits.

Practical usage tips

• Use a light cutting oil or coolant to augment heat dissipation during high-speed drilling.
• Begin with a steady feed and avoid applying excessive force to prevent deflection on thinner workpieces.
• Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and reduce heat buildup, especially in dense metals.
• Match spindle speed to material and bit diameter for optimal edge life and hole quality.

Elevate your metalworking toolkit with the Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 7.1mm, a purpose-built drill bit designed for deep, accurate holes and longer tool life in challenging materials.
