Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 8.5mm

Europa Tools Long Series Drill in the 8.5 mm size, crafted from HSS CO8 and finished with a distinct straw coating, is engineered for serious metalworking tasks. This isn't a standard drill bit—it's a high-performance tool designed to deliver depth, precision, and long-term reliability in demanding environments.

• Long series design provides extended reach for deep holes and hard-to-access pockets, reducing the need to re-fixture parts mid-job.
• HSS CO8 composition brings superior hardness and heat resistance, helping the edge stay sharp when drilling tougher alloys and higher-strength steels.
• Straw-coated finish lowers friction, improves wear resistance, and enhances chip flow for smoother drilling and longer tool life.
• Precision-ground tip and flute geometry optimize chip evacuation and deliver clean, accurate holes with minimal wall burrs.
• Versatile material compatibility suitable for a range of metals commonly encountered in fabrication, automotive, and industrial maintenance tasks.
• Reliable performance in standard setups compatible with drill presses and handheld drills alike, designed for repeatable results in busy workshops.

Whether you’re fabricating a steel frame, repairing heavy machinery, or finishing deep-pocket work, the Europa Tools Long Series Drill in 8.5 mm delivers power and endurance where it matters most. The combination of an extended reach, durable 8% cobalt HSS, and the wear-reducing straw coating translates to fewer tool changes, more consistent hole quality, and improved productivity in metalworking projects.

For best results, pair with light cutting oil or coolant to further extend tool life, and use steady feeds to maintain clean chip removal. Secure the workpiece firmly to minimize deflection, and start with a pilot hole if working in particularly tough material.
