Allied 1C22T-0109 Spade Drill Insert 1-9/32 in Carbide Tin 132

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1C22T-0109 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-penetration hole-making in demanding production environments. It carries a 132-degree point angle and a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating that reduces friction and extends tool life across high-cycle applications. Rated to manufacturer grade C2 (K20), it is engineered for rigidity and heat resistance in interrupted-cut and through-hole drilling operations. This insert fits Seat Size 2 holders in the T-A spade drill system and is installed by machinists and tooling technicians on CNC machining centers, turning centers, and drill presses.

This insert is suited for drilling stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and super-alloys including titanium. The T-A series is a common platform in production shops running high volumes of precision holes where indexable tooling reduces downtime versus regrinding. Typical applications include aerospace component drilling, heavy equipment manufacturing, and industrial fabrication where consistent hole geometry and tight tolerances are required across a range of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• 1-9/32 inch cutting diameter for precision bore sizing without secondary operations
• 132-degree point angle optimized for entry stability and chip formation control
• Solid carbide construction, grade C2 (K20), for rigidity in hard and abrasive materials
• TiN PVD coating reduces built-up edge and extends insert service life
• Seat Size 2 interface for direct indexing in compatible T-A series spade drill holders
• Rated for stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and super-alloys including titanium

Compatibility

Designed for use with Seat Size 2 T-A series spade drill holders. Compatible workpiece materials include stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and super-alloys and titanium as indicated by material codes M, K, N, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spade drill holder and machine spindle are fully de-energized and locked out before removing or seating the insert. Seat the insert firmly against the holder pocket faces and verify clamping screw torque per the holder manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the insert seat and holder pocket for chips or debris before each indexing to prevent insert misalignment and premature failure.
