Part of the T-A Series, this insert measures 1-9\/16 inches in diameter and seats in a Size 3 holder. It features a 132-degree point angle and a TiN (Titanium Nitride) PVD coating for extended tool life and reduced built-up edge. At 0.1 pounds, the insert is precision-ground to Manufacturer Grade C2 (K20), making it well-suited for aggressive interrupted cuts and high-feed drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual turning applications where consistent bore diameter and surface finish are required. It is engineered for drilling stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and super-alloys including titanium. Machinists and tooling specialists working in aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing regularly specify T-A Series inserts for high-volume production runs where insert changeover speed and repeatability matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-9\/16 inch diameter with Size 3 seat for direct holder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction at Grade C2 (K20) for hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e132-degree point angle suits a wide range of workpiece entry conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN PVD coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, super-alloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the T-A Series, a widely used indexable spade drill platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with T-A Series Size 3 spade drill holders.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the holder manufacturer to achieve proper clamping torque. Inspect the seat pocket for chips or debris before each insert change to prevent seating errors and premature insert failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: T-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2 (K20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Super-alloys and Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1C23T-0118\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744665403698,"sku":"1C23T-0118","price":159.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3712c3a45970d45eb83cde4b0b0db3b7_3f3a7376-1122-4563-9673-5701b81f12ce.jpg?v=1788859744","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/allied-1c23t-0118-spade-drill-insert-1-9-16-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
