Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 7.3mm

Meet the Europa Tools Long Series Drill — a purpose-built HSS CO8 bit engineered for serious metalworking tasks. With a 7.3 mm diameter and a long-series flute length, this drill is designed to reach deep into workpieces where standard drills fall short, delivering clean, accurate holes with confidence.

What makes it stand out

• Long Series design for extended reach and versatile drilling in tight or recessed spaces.
• HSS CO8 core combines hardness and toughness, enabling consistent performance across a wide range of materials.
• Straw Coated finish provides improved wear resistance, helping the tool maintain its edge and extend life in demanding drilling jobs.
• 7.3 mm diameter strikes a balance between precision and material removal, ideal for through-holes and small-fastener applications.
• Rigid shank and balanced geometry for stable cuts and reduced deflection during high-pressure drilling.

Practical use cases and who benefits

Ideal for machinists, fabricators, workshop professionals, and serious DIYers who regularly drill metal. Use it for drilling through mild steel, aluminum, brass, and other common metals. The long reach makes it suitable for drilling into fixtures, inside brackets, or across thicker stock where length matters. The straw-coated surface also communicates a tool built for longevity in a professional setting.

Tips for optimal results

• Lubricate with a suitable cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend edge life.
• Start with a pilot hole if drilling harder materials, then gradually proceed to the full 7.3 mm diameter.
• Maintain a straight, steady feed and avoid aggressive speeds to preserve the edge and achieve clean holes.

With the Europa Tools Long Series Drill, you gain a reliable, precise, and durable drilling solution that stands up to demanding tasks and keeps projects moving forward.
