Meet the Europa Tools Long Series Drill - Powder Metal - TiAlN Tipped - 5.5mm x 260mm. This precision drill is built for serious metalworking, pairing a rugged powder metal core with a TiAlN-tipped coating to deliver dependable performance through demanding drilling tasks.

Unparalleled reach and precision

The long-series design isn’t just about length—it’s about stable, straight drilling in challenging materials. With a 260 mm overall length, this drill bit maintains alignment through thick stock and manages chips efficiently, reducing heat buildup and wander. That extended reach is especially valuable when working in tight spaces, fabricating deep holes in steel or stainless alloys, or performing multi-pass drilling in assemblies where access is limited. This single bit can replace multiple shorter tools, increasing workflow efficiency and reducing tool changes.

TiAlN-coated performance you can feel

TiAlN coatings deliver higher surface hardness and superior oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures, enabling faster cutting speeds and greater wear life in metal drilling. In real-world use, TiAlN-coated drills excel in dry or high-heat environments, helping maintain sharp edges longer when drilling stainless steel and other tough alloys. The result is cleaner holes, less frequent bit changes, and more consistent hole quality across a production run.

Powder metallurgy core for reliable toughness

The powder metal substrate behind this drill bit creates a dense, uniform microstructure that balances hardness with fracture resistance. This structure supports aggressive feeds and repeated passes without the sudden edge failure you might see with softer or poorly unified cores. For everyday metalworking and demanding applications alike, the powder-metal body contributes to steady performance and predictable hole quality.

Versatile, focused applications

Ideal for machinists, fabricators, and dedicated DIYers, the Europa Long Series Drill handles a range of metals—from common carbon steels to stainless alloys—while delivering extended reach for through-thick workpieces, deep cavities, or assemblies with limited access. The 5.5 mm diameter supports a variety of hole sizes and is tailored for projects that demand both precision and depth without swapping tools. The combination of powder-metal toughness and TiAlN wear resistance keeps you moving forward, even in tougher materials.

Practical tips for best results

• Set speeds and feeds appropriate for steel and stainless steels; start conservative and increase where the setup allows while monitoring edge wear.
• Use a cutting fluid when possible to lower friction and extend tool life; in dry drilling, monitor temperature and reduce feed if you notice smoke or discoloration.
• Keep the drill perpendicular to the workpiece and apply steady, balanced pressure to avoid deflection.
• Use peck drilling to clear chips and maintain effective cutting engagement, especially in deeper holes.
