Europa Tools Slot Drill is a precision cutting tool designed for machinists and fabricators who need clean, accurate slots in metal. Built from HSS-E with 8% cobalt, this 12 mm, 2- flute, short-length drill delivers rigidity, durability, and dependable performance in challenging materials. Diameter: 12 mm Number of Flutes: 2-flute design for efficient material removal and clear chip flow Length: Short overall length for enhanced rigidity and reduced deflection Material: HSS-E with 8% cobalt for increased hardness, heat resistance, and wear life Coating: Uncoated surface to improve chip evacuation and reduce friction Application: Ideal for precise slotting in metals, delivering stable cuts and clean slot edges This slot drill focuses on delivering consistent performance where precision matters. The cobalt-enriched HSS-E alloy stands up to higher cutting temperatures, helping elongate tool life when machining tough metals. The short, rigid geometry minimizes deflection, making it easier to reproduce accurate slot widths across multiple parts. With two flutes, material removal is steady and chip clearance is optimized, reducing heat buildup and promoting a smoother edge finish. The uncoated finish further aids chip evacuation and lowers friction, supporting cooler operation and reliable results over extended use. This combination is particularly well-suited for production runs, mechanical assemblies, and custom machining projects that demand repeatable slot dimensions and high edge quality. Show more
