Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 9.8mm

Introducing the Europa Tools Long Series Drill in HSS CO8 with a Straw Coated finish, a precision-driven drill bit designed for demanding metalwork where reach and performance matter. The long-series design provides extended length for deep holes and access to hard-to-reach work areas, without sacrificing rigidity or control. At 9.8 mm in diameter, it’s a versatile choice for a wide range of fabrication and repair tasks.

The drill is crafted from premium HSS CO8, blending high-speed steel with cobalt to deliver superior heat resistance and wear life. The 8% cobalt content helps the bit stay sharper longer when drilling tougher materials, reducing the need for frequent re-sharpening and delivering clean, accurate holes even in stainless steel and other hard alloys.

The Straw Coated finish isn’t just cosmetic—it's a practical coating that reduces friction and improves wear resistance. By minimizing heat buildup and easing lubrication, this finish helps extend tool life and maintain consistent performance across multiple holes, making it a reliable choice for pro workshops and serious DIY projects alike.

Key advantages in practice:

• Extended reach for deep, through-holes and hard-to-access locations
• High cobalt content (HSS CO8) for enhanced cutting performance and longevity in tough metals
• Straw coating reduces friction, improves wear resistance, and supports cooler operation
• 9.8 mm diameter offers a balance between material removal rate and hole precision
• Solid, reliable drilling performance suited to metalworking, fabrication, and automotive tasks

Who benefits most: professional machinists, metal fabricators, workshop technicians, and ambitious DIYers tackling stainless steel, alloy steel, and other demanding materials. If your job requires drilling deep holes with consistent accuracy, this long-series drill provides the reliability you need without constant tool swapping or premature wear.

Practical tips for best results: use an appropriate cutting speed for the material, apply a-compatible lubricant or light coolant to reduce heat, and start with a centered pilot hole to minimize wandering. Keep the drill sharp and withdraw gradually to clear chips and prevent binding. With proper care, the Straw Coated HSS CO8 long-series drill maintains sharpness longer and delivers repeatable holes project after project.

Upgrade your toolkit with the Europa Tools Long Series Drill—where extended reach meets durable, precise performance. Add to cart and tackle those deep-hole tasks with confidence.
