Allied 132A-0104 Spade Drill Insert 1-1/8 in Hss Tialn

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 132A-0104 is a spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in a range of industrial and metalworking applications. Part of the T-A Series, this insert measures 1-1/8 inches in diameter and seats in a Size 2 holder. It is manufactured from M4 grade High Speed Steel and features a TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) PVD coating that extends tool life by reducing heat buildup and wear at the cutting edge. The 132-degree point angle is suited for general-purpose drilling and provides clean entry geometry across common workpiece materials. At 0.1875 inches thick and 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, direct-replacement insert for T-A Series spade drill bodies.

This insert is intended for use in T-A Series spade drill holder bodies in machining environments where ferrous and non-ferrous metals are processed. Primary workpiece material classifications include Steel (P), Cast Iron (K), and Non-Ferrous Metal (N), making it a versatile option for job shops, production machining cells, and maintenance drilling operations. It is typically installed by machinists and tool room technicians operating CNC machining centers, lathes with live tooling, or conventional drill presses.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spade drill holder body is removed from the machine spindle and the machine is powered down and locked out before replacing the insert. Inspect the holder seat for wear or debris before seating the new insert, and torque the retention screw only to the holder manufacturer's specified value found in the T-A Series holder documentation. Do not modify the insert geometry or coating.
