Allied 150A-0019 Spade Drill Insert 19/32 in Cobalt Tialn

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 150A-0019 is a cobalt spade drill insert engineered for high-performance hole-making in demanding metal-cutting applications. Designed for use in the T-A Series spade drill system, this insert features a 132-degree point angle and a TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) PVD coating that extends tool life by reducing heat buildup and wear at the cutting edge. The insert measures 19/32 inches in diameter with a seat size of 0, and a thickness of 0.125 inches. At 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, precision-ground component intended for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production or job-shop environments.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in ferrous and high-strength materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium. The T-A Series indexable spade drill system is widely used in CNC machining centers, lathes, and dedicated drilling equipment where consistent hole geometry and repeatability are required at production volumes. The cobalt substrate combined with PVD TiAlN coating makes this insert a practical choice when cutting super-alloys or titanium where heat generation is a primary concern.

Key Features

• 19/32 inch diameter cobalt insert with 132-degree point angle for accurate entry and minimal thrust in ferrous materials
• TiAlN PVD coating reduces thermal wear and extends cutting life in high-temperature alloys
• Seat Size 0 for use in compatible T-A Series spade drill holders
• 0.125 inch insert thickness provides stable cutting geometry during deep-hole operations
• Rated for primary workpiece materials: Steel (P), Stainless Steel (M), Cast Iron (K), Super-alloys and Titanium (S)

Compatibility

Designed for use with ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING T-A Series spade drill holders accepting Seat Size 0 inserts. Consult the T-A Series holder compatibility chart to confirm holder-to-insert fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of spade drill inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist following the holder manufacturer's seating and torque guidelines. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing inserts. Inspect the holder seat for chips, burrs, or wear before seating the insert, as debris on the seat face will affect insert positioning and hole accuracy. Follow applicable shop safety standards and use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant as recommended for the workpiece material being machined.
