Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 7.2mm

Europa Tools Long Series Drill – HSS CO8, Straw Coated, 7.2 mm

The Europa Tools Long Series Drill is engineered for metalworking professionals and serious DIYers who tackle deep, demanding holes. Its long-series geometry provides extended reach for through-holes, pocket work, and hard-to-access spaces where standard bits fall short. At 7.2 mm in diameter, it strikes a balance between precision pilot drilling and efficient progression to larger bores in a single operation.

Made from premium HSS CO8 (cobalt-enhanced high-speed steel), this drill bit preserves cutting efficiency under heat and heavy use. The cobalt content boosts hardness and wear resistance, enabling cleaner holes in tougher materials such as stainless steels and hard alloys while maintaining consistent results over extended drilling sessions.

The straw-coated finish goes beyond aesthetics. It creates a low-friction surface that reduces heat buildup and galling, helping the cutting edge stay sharper longer and extending overall tool life. The result is steadier feeds, more uniform hole quality, and less downtime spent changing bits on challenging projects.

• Long reach for deep holes and hard-to-reach drilling sites
• HSS CO8 for enhanced heat resistance and durability
• Straw-coated finish to lower friction and extend tool life
• Versatile across a wide range of metals, including stainless steel, tough alloys, and cast iron
• 7.2 mm diameter delivers precise, consistent holes in demanding applications

Practical tips for optimal results: pair this drill with appropriate cutting fluid or coolant, maintain a steady, moderate feed rate, and avoid prolonged high-speed drilling that can overheat the edge. Periodically retract the bit to clear chips and keep the cutting surface clean. For deep-hole work, secure the workpiece and use a controlled, slow feed to preserve edge life and hole accuracy.

Whether you’re assembling machinery, fabricating structural components, or performing maintenance on heavy equipment, the Europa Tools Long Series Drill – HSS CO8, straw coated, 7.2 mm – delivers dependable performance, extended tool life, and precise results when standard bits can’t reach.
