Allied Machine 132T-0105 Spade Drill Insert 1-5/32 in Hss Tin

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 132T-0105 is a spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling applications in metalworking and machining operations. Part of the T-A series, this insert measures 1-5/32 inches in diameter and features a 132-degree point angle optimized for clean entry and accurate hole starting in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Manufactured from M4-grade high speed steel and finished with a PVD-applied TiN (titanium nitride) coating, it delivers improved surface hardness and wear resistance compared to uncoated tooling. The insert seats at Size 2 and has a thickness of 0.1875 inches. It is installed and serviced by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This spade drill insert is suited for drilling operations in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. The T-A series platform is a modular spade drilling system, allowing the insert to be exchanged without replacing the entire holder. This makes it a practical choice for high-volume production shops, maintenance machining, and job shops where tooling cost control and changeover speed matter. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in structural steel, ductile iron, and aluminum workpieces.

Key Features

• 1-5/32 inch diameter with 132-degree point angle for accurate hole entry and reduced thrust
• M4-grade high speed steel construction for toughness in interrupted and continuous cuts
• PVD TiN coating increases surface hardness and extends tool life in steel and cast iron
• Seat Size 2 modular design allows fast insert changes without removing the holder from the machine
• Compatible with primary workpiece materials including steel (P), cast iron (K), and non-ferrous metals (N)
• Fractional inch system for straightforward sizing and holder matching

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A series spade drill holders accepting a Size 2 seat. Compatible with primary workpiece material classifications P (steel), K (cast iron), and N (non-ferrous metal) per ISO material coding.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per applicable safety procedures. Ensure the seat and insert seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the new insert. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines for the clamping screw. Inspect the seating pocket for wear or damage each time the insert is changed.
