Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 8.4mm

Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 8.4mm is engineered for professionals who demand durability, depth, and precision in tough drilling tasks. The combination of a long-ser ies design, cobalt-enriched HSS, and a straw-coated finish delivers a drill that stays sharp longer, even as material hardness and heat rise during demanding work.

Extended reach for deeper holes and hard-to-access work

The Long Series geometry extends your drilling depth, allowing clean, accurate holes in thick workpieces, through aluminum profiles, steel plates, or assemblies where access is limited. With the extra length, you maintain control and stability, reducing the need to reload and re-position mid-task.

Premium HSS CO8 for reliable performance under heat

Made from high-speed steel with cobalt-enhancement (CO8), this drill maintains cutting efficiency when cutting through tougher metals. The CO8 alloy improves edge retention and heat resistance, helping you maintain consistent hole quality in stainless steel, alloy steels, and other challenging materials.

Straw Coated finish for wear resistance and smoother operation

The straw-coated surface adds a layer of reduced friction and lubricity, which translates to less galling, cooler cutting, and longer tool life. The coating works with standard drilling lubricants to optimize chip evacuation and reduce resistance as the flute twists through material.

Practical advantages that matter on the shop floor

• Predictable performance across a range of metals, including stainless steel and alloy steels
• Consistent hole quality with reduced deflection and improved chip clearance on deep holes
• Versatile one-tool solution for workshops, fabrication shops, and maker spaces
• Simple integration into existing drill setups without special adapters

Best-use guidance and insights

For best results, pair with appropriate cutting fluid and operate at speeds recommended for cobalt-enhanced HSS drills. Use a gradual pecking technique to clear chips when drilling deep holes, and avoid overheating by stepping down your feed rate as needed. If you're working through particularly thick or hard material, start with a pilot hole to guide the long drill precisely and reduce wandering. This drill is built to excel in these scenarios, delivering dependable performance when you need it most.
