Engineered for precision slot milling, the Europa Tools Slot Drill in HSS-E with 8% cobalt delivers dependable rigidity and long tool life for metalworkers and machinists. Its short, 2-flute design focuses on stable, accurate slotting with clean edges in a range of metals. Diameter: 7.75 mm Material: HSS-E with 8% cobalt for enhanced hot hardness and wear resistance Flute count: 2-flute design for efficient material removal and reliable chip clearance Length: Short overall length to maximize rigidity and minimize deflection Coating: Uncoated surface to improve chip evacuation and reduce friction during cutting Applications: Ideal for slot milling and grooving with varying slot widths in metal By combining high-strength cobalt alloy with a compact, two-flute geometry, this drill minimizes deflection under load and maintains precise slot dimensions from start to finish. The uncoated finish helps chips clear quickly, reducing heat buildup, while the alloy's heat resistance extends tool life in demanding cuts. This makes it a reliable choice for productive slotting in steel, cast iron, and other tough metals, enabling clean slot walls, smooth finishes, and reduced cycle times.
