Europa Tools Long Series Drill - HSS CO8 - Straw Coated - 11.5mm

Europa Tools Long Series Drill – HSS CO8, Straw Coated, 11.5mm

When performance meets reach, this long series drill from Europa Tools is your go-to for deeper holes in demanding materials. Built on HSS CO8, a cobalt-infused high-speed steel, it maintains a sharp cut longer under heat and heavy use, delivering dependable results from the first hole to the last.

Straw-coated finish for durability and reduced heat

The straw-coated finish isn't just for looks. This protective layer reduces friction, lowers heat buildup, and extends tool life, especially when drilling tough metals. You get consistent chip evacuation and less built-up edge, which translates to cleaner holes and fewer interruptions during longer jobs.

Long series design — reach without compromise

Designed for extended reach, this drill bit keeps rigidity and precision even in deep cavities. The longer flute geometry improves chips removal, minimizes clogging, and helps you drill accurate, straight holes in challenging workpieces—from multi-layer assemblies to deep-pocket projects.

Versatile performance across materials

Ideal for metalworking tasks that involve stainless steel, alloy steels, cast iron, and other hard-to-machine materials. The combination of HSS CO8 and straw coating makes it more forgiving on tough materials than standard high-speed steel bits, while still performing well in softer metals and plastics.

Pro tips for best results

• Use a steady feed rate and consider light lubrication to reduce heat when drilling metal.
• Begin with a center punch to prevent wandering and ensure accurate starting holes.
• Drill with a compatible drill press or a sturdy hand drill; keep the bit cool and avoid excessive pressure.
• Match your speed to the material and the depth of the hole; for deeper holes, pause to clear chips and prevent binding.

What you can expect

Reliable performance, extended tool life, and deeper hole capability in demanding applications. The long series design and cobalt-containing HSS combine to deliver precision, durability, and consistent results job after job.
