Allied 15ZT-0016-SP Drill Chamfer Insert 90 Degree Cobalt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 15ZT-0016-SP is a cobalt drill chamfer insert designed for use in modular boring and drilling tooling systems. Part of the Series Z platform, this insert features a 90-degree chamfer angle and a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating for improved wear resistance and extended tool life. The insert thickness measures 0.09 inches and the hole diameter is 0.5 inches. It is sold individually and is intended for use by machinists and tool-room technicians working in production or job-shop environments requiring precise chamfering at the drill point.

This insert is rated for universal workpiece material compatibility, covering a broad range of material groups including ferrous metals, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, plastics, heat-resistant alloys, and structural steels. The 15ZT insert style and Size Code 15 designation make it a direct fit for compatible Allied Series Z boring and drilling tool bodies. It is suited for CNC machining centers and manual machine tool setups where repeatable chamfer geometry at the drill entry or exit is required.

Key Features

• 90-degree chamfer angle for consistent deburring and countersinking at the drill point
• Cobalt insert material provides high-temperature hardness and toughness
• Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends insert life
• 0.5-inch hole diameter for secure seating in compatible Series Z tool bodies
• Universal material compatibility across material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S
• Individual packaging with a minimum order quantity of one for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed for use with Allied Machine and Engineering Series Z boring and drilling tool bodies that accept the 15ZT insert style at Size Code 15. Compatible workpiece material groups include H, K, M, N, P, and S as designated by the supplier.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing cutting inserts. Use the appropriate insert clamp screw and torquing tool specified by the tooling system manufacturer rather than any improvised fastener. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or damage before seating the new insert to ensure proper support and repeatable geometry.
