Allied Machine 10444-0200 Spade Drill Insert 2 in Seat D

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 10444-0200 is a spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in demanding metalworking applications. Manufactured from CPM-M4 powdered metal, this insert delivers the wear resistance and toughness required for production drilling in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. It features a 130-degree point angle, a 2-inch cutting diameter, and a Seat Size D profile. With an uncoated finish, the insert is well-suited for applications where coolant lubrication is used or where re-sharpening is a priority. Licensed machinists and toolroom professionals install this type of insert into compatible spade drill holders as part of a modular boring and drilling system.

This insert is intended for use in machining centers, lathes, and drill presses handling steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous workpieces. The Seat Size D designation matches a specific class of Allied Machine spade drill holders. It is commonly used in medium-to-heavy-duty production environments where hole diameters of 2 inches are required and consistent chip formation is critical to cycle time and surface finish quality.

Installation Notes

Installation of spade drill inserts is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the insert. Secure the insert into the holder using the manufacturer-specified fastener and appropriate insert wrench — do not overtighten or use impact tools on insert screws. Inspect the holder seat for chips or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and runout control.
