Allied 152T-0106-FB Spade Drill Insert 1-3/16 in Cobalt Tin 180pt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 152T-0106-FB is a spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding industrial drilling applications. It features a 1-3/16 inch cutting diameter, a 180-degree point angle, and is manufactured from cobalt high-speed steel with a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating applied to extend cutting edge life and reduce friction. The insert seats into a Seat Size 2 T-A series spade drill holder and delivers consistent hole quality across a range of difficult-to-machine workpiece materials. Machinists and tool room technicians rely on this insert for production drilling where tool life and dimensional accuracy are critical.

This insert is suited for use in machining centers, drill presses, and lathe turret setups where replaceable spade drill inserts are preferred over solid tooling. The T-A series platform is widely used in production environments handling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium. Primary workpiece material classifications covered include ISO P (steel), M (stainless steel), K (cast iron), and S (super-alloys and titanium). The 180-degree point angle makes this insert particularly well-suited for flat-bottom or near-flat entry conditions and cross-hole drilling scenarios.

Key Features

• 1-3/16 inch cutting diameter for precise hole sizing
• Cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• TiN PVD coating reduces cutting friction and extends insert service life
• 180-degree point angle supports flat-bottom drilling and cross-hole entry
• Seat Size 2 T-A series compatibility for drop-in holder replacement
• Rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A series Seat Size 2 spade drill holders. Compatible primary workpiece materials include steel (ISO P), stainless steel (ISO M), cast iron (ISO K), and super-alloys and titanium (ISO S).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool room technicians. Before changing inserts, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped, locked out, and all energy sources are isolated per facility LOTO procedures. Seat the insert fully against the holder pocket faces and torque the clamping screw to the holder manufacturer's specification using a calibrated torque wrench. Inspect the seat and insert pocket for chips or damage before seating a new insert to avoid premature edge failure.
