Allied 132A-0102 Spade Drill Insert 1-1/16 in Hss Tialn

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 132A-0102 is a spade drill insert engineered for high-productivity hole-making in metal cutting applications. Part of the T-A series, this insert measures 1-1/16 inches in diameter and features a 132-degree point angle ground from M4 grade high speed steel. A PVD-applied TiAlN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds. At 0.1875 inches thick and 0.1 pounds, the insert seats into a Size 2 holder body. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this insert in production drilling operations where consistent hole geometry and insert interchangeability are required.

This spade drill insert is suited for drilling steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals in both light manufacturing and heavy production environments. The T-A series platform is a common choice in job shops and production machining cells where fast insert changes reduce spindle downtime. Seat Size 2 determines the compatible holder body; verify holder seat size before ordering. The TiAlN coating performs well in dry and semi-dry cutting strategies where coolant use is limited or intermittent.

Key Features

• 1-1/16 inch diameter with 132-degree point angle for aggressive chip formation
• M4 grade high speed steel substrate for toughness in interrupted cuts
• PVD TiAlN coating for high-temperature wear resistance and extended tool life
• 0.1875 inch insert thickness for rigid seating in Size 2 holder
• Compatible with steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous workpiece materials
• T-A series platform enables fast insert indexing without removing the holder from the spindle

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A series Size 2 spade drill holder bodies. Seat size must match the holder body designation; this insert is not interchangeable with Size 1, Size 3, or other seat sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool crib technicians familiar with spade drill systems. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before seating or removing the insert. Secure the insert using the appropriate T-A series holder screw and driver to the holder manufacturer's recommended procedure. Inspect the holder seat for chips or damage before installing a new insert, as debris on the seat face will affect hole accuracy and can cause insert breakage.
