Allied 453H-0116-HE Spade Drill Insert 1-1/2 in Cobalt AM200

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 453H-0116-HE is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance through-hole and blind-hole drilling in demanding metalworking applications. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and belonging to Seat Size 3, this insert is part of the GEN2 T-A series and features a 132-degree point angle optimized for precise chip formation and entry control. The AM200 PVD coating extends tool life in abrasive and heat-intensive cutting environments. At 0.06 pounds, the insert is a direct consumable replacement component seated into compatible T-A spade drill holders used by machinists and tooling technicians across production and job-shop environments.

This insert is engineered for use across a broad range of primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials — spanning ISO material classifications P, M, K, S, and H. It is suited for CNC machining centers, lathes with live tooling, and dedicated drill presses where consistent hole diameter and finish quality are required. The GEN2 T-A platform is a widely used modular spade drilling system, making this insert a standard consumable in medium-to-high volume drilling operations.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch cutting diameter with Seat Size 3 for compatibility with GEN2 T-A spade drill holders
• 132-degree point angle for controlled entry and reduced thrust in varied workpiece materials
• Cobalt substrate provides elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS inserts
• AM200 PVD coating extends cutting life in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds — quick to index and replace at the machine
• Single-piece package quantity supports just-in-time tooling replenishment

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN2 T-A series spade drill holders accepting Seat Size 3 inserts with a 1-1/2 inch cutting diameter. Intended for use across ISO workpiece material groups P, M, K, S, and H, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing spade drill inserts. Seat the insert fully and evenly in the holder pocket before torquing the clamping screw — refer to the holder manufacturer torque specification for your specific holder model. Inspect the seating pocket for chips or debris before installing a new insert to avoid seating errors or premature insert failure.
