Allied 1C32A-0100-CI Spade Drill Insert 1 in Solid Carbide Tialn

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1C32A-0100-CI is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in cast iron workpieces. Part of the T-A series, this insert measures 1 inch in diameter and seats in a Size 2 holder. It features a 132-degree point angle and a TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) PVD coating that extends tool life in abrasive ferrous materials. At 0.1875 inches thick and weighing 0.1 pounds, it is a direct-fit replacement insert for compatible T-A series spade drill bodies. Machinists and tooling technicians install this insert in production and job-shop environments where repeatable bore quality in cast iron is required.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in cast iron components across general manufacturing, automotive, and heavy equipment applications. The T-A series platform is a common choice for production drilling where insert indexability reduces downtime compared to solid drill replacement. The 132-degree point angle supports clean entry and chip evacuation in the short, broken chips typical of gray and ductile cast iron. Install in the appropriate Size 2 T-A spade drill body for correct seating and cutting geometry.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A series spade drill bodies requiring a Size 2 seat. Primary workpiece material classification is Cast Iron (ISO material code K). Confirm holder seat size and insert diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and serviced by machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating the insert. Use the manufacturer-specified torque driver for the insert clamping screw and inspect the pocket seat for chips or damage before seating the new insert. Do not exceed the drill body's rated feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material.
