Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 9.7mm

Meet the Europa Tools Long Series Drill – a precision-driven choice for serious metalworking. The 9.7 mm HSS CO8 drill bit is engineered to tackle demanding tasks with extended reach and dependable cutting performance, making it a trusted ally in fabrication, maintenance, and workshop projects.

Built with a long-series geometry, this drill bit reaches deeper into holes, pockets, and access-heavy work areas where standard bits struggle. The HSS CO8 material combines the resilience of high-speed steel with cobalt-enhanced toughness, delivering enhanced wear resistance and sustained cutting efficiency across a wide range of materials. That means fewer tool changes, cleaner holes, and more consistent results on every job.

The straw-coated finish isn’t just a visual detail—it enhances wear resistance and helps reduce heat buildup during drilling. The result is longer tool life and steadier performance, especially on harder metals and alloys where heat and friction can dull standard bits quickly.

Key benefits at a glance

• Extended reach for deep, precise drilling without swapping to multiple bits
• Premium HSS CO8 formulation for improved durability and cutting performance
• Straw-coated finish that boosts wear resistance and aids chip evacuation
• 9.7 mm diameter, ideal for clean, consistent holes in metalworking and fabrication tasks

This drill is an excellent fit for professionals and enthusiasts who regularly drill through steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other challenging materials. It’s particularly valuable for projects requiring deep holes, Through-hole drilling, or work in tight spaces where conventional bits can’t reach.

Practical tips for best results: clamp the workpiece securely, use proper feed rates, and apply cooling or lubrication to control heat. Clear chips frequently to keep the flute free for smooth cutting, and inspect the cutting edge periodically to maintain optimal performance over time.
