Allied Machine 1023T-0130 Spade Drill Insert 1-15/16 in Hss Tin

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1023T-0130 is a spade drill insert designed for use in indexable spade drill holders. It features a 1-15/16 inch cutting diameter, a 130-degree point angle, and is manufactured from high speed steel with a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating. The TiN coating improves surface hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in production drilling applications. This insert seats into a Series C holder and delivers consistent hole geometry across a range of workpiece materials. Machining professionals and tool and die technicians rely on inserts of this type for moderate-to-high volume hole-making operations.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. It is designed for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and similar equipment where an indexable spade drill system is already in use. The Series C seat size targets mid-range diameter applications and is common in job shop and production machining environments. Proper coolant delivery and spindle speed selection are critical to maximizing insert life in these materials.

Key Features

• 1-15/16 inch cutting diameter for mid-range hole-making applications
• 130-degree point angle promotes positive cutting action and reduces thrust in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction provides toughness in interrupted cuts and variable-feed conditions
• TiN PVD coating increases surface hardness and wear resistance for extended tool life
• Series C seat size for compatibility with matching indexable spade drill holders
• Rated for use in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metal workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series C indexable spade drill holders. Compatible with workpiece materials including steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals as indicated by material codes P, N, and K.

Installation Notes

Installation of spade drill inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power isolated. The insert seating surface and holder pocket should be clean and free of chips or debris before seating the insert. Torque the insert fastener per the holder manufacturer specifications only. Verify runout and alignment before initiating the cut to prevent premature insert failure or workpiece damage.
