This insert mounts into a compatible spade drill holder and delivers precise, repeatable cutting action at a 132-degree point angle. Manufactured to the GEN2 T-A series standard, it carries an AM300 PVD coating for extended tool life and thermal resistance. At 0.386 inches in diameter (Letter W) and 0.0938 inches thick, it is built to tight tolerances for consistent entry and chip evacuation in demanding production environments. Machinists and tool-room professionals specify this insert for applications where carbide grade C1 (K35) provides the right balance of hardness and toughness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for drilling operations in steel and hard material workpieces in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and production turning operations. The GEN2 T-A series is a common platform in job shop and manufacturing environments where interchangeable spade drill inserts reduce tooling inventory. The Letter W diameter and Y seat size designation identify the correct holder pairing for this insert in that platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction, grade C1 (K35) for hardness and wear resistance in steel and hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAM300 PVD coating for improved heat resistance and extended cutting life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e132-degree point angle for reduced thrust and accurate hole entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter W diameter (0.386 inches) with Y seat size for GEN2 T-A holder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.0938 inch insert thickness for precise fitment in the holder pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with GEN2 T-A series spade drill holders requiring a Y seat size.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before accessing the holder pocket. Seat the insert fully and evenly in the pocket before torquing the clamp screw — consult the holder manufacturer documentation for fastener torque requirements. Inspect the holder pocket for wear or damage each time the insert is changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.386 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: Y\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: C1 (K35)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEN2 T-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AM300\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: 0.0938 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 4C1YP-.386\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732302856498,"sku":"4C1YP-.386","price":87.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6900b2a9da255d5b13e80c4561675890.jpg?v=1788741396","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/allied-4c1yp-386-spade-drill-insert-letter-w-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
