Allied Machine 1023T-0124 Spade Drill Insert 1-3/4 in Hss Tin

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1023T-0124 is a spade drill insert designed for use in compatible spade drill holders across a range of metal cutting applications. Measuring 1-3/4 inches in diameter with a Seat Size C designation, this insert is manufactured from High Speed Steel and features a TiN (Titanium Nitride) PVD coating that extends cutting edge life in demanding production environments. The 130-degree point angle is suited for general-purpose drilling into steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. At 0.3125 inches thick and 1-19/64 inches in height, the insert fits standard Seat Size C holder bodies. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals install and replace spade drill inserts as part of routine tooling maintenance.

This insert is intended for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual boring operations where interchangeable spade drill tooling is specified. Primary workpiece materials include steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals, corresponding to ISO material codes P, N, and K. The TiN PVD coating improves wear resistance and reduces friction at the cutting interface, making the 1023T-0124 a practical choice for moderate-to-high-volume drilling cycles in job shop and production machining settings.

Installation Notes

Spade drill inserts are installed and changed by machinists or tool crib personnel following machine lockout/tagout procedures before any tooling work. Ensure the holder seat and clamping screw are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Use the manufacturer-specified seat screw and torque procedure as defined in the holder body documentation. Inspect the insert seating surface for damage before each installation to maintain positional accuracy and prevent tool failure.
