Allied Machine 150A-0022 Spade Drill Insert 11/16 in Cobalt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 150A-0022 is a T-A series spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding metal-cutting applications. The insert measures 11/16 inches in diameter and features a 132-degree point angle, which promotes accurate entry and efficient chip formation. Constructed from T15 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, the 150A-0022 delivers heat and wear resistance needed when drilling hard ferrous metals. At 0.125 inches thick and weighing 0.1 pounds, this is a precision consumable for industrial drilling operations. Machinists and tooling technicians install this insert into compatible T-A series spade drill holders as part of a modular boring and drilling system.

The 150A-0022 is suited for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium — material codes P, M, K, and S in the ISO classification system. It fits Seat Size 0 holders in the T-A series and is appropriate for CNC machining centers, lathes with live tooling, and dedicated drilling equipment in production shop environments. This insert is typically used in both roughing and production drilling operations where repeatability and tool life are priorities. Industrial machinists and CNC operators performing high-volume or hard-material drilling operations are the primary installers.

• T15 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated hardness and heat resistance
• PVD TiAlN coating extends tool life when cutting abrasive and heat-generating workpiece materials
• Seat Size 0 fits T-A series spade drill holders for modular interchangeability
• Compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium workpieces
• 0.125 inches insert thickness provides consistent seating geometry in the holder pocket

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A series Seat Size 0 spade drill holders. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium (ISO material codes P, M, K, and S).

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians into a T-A series spade drill holder. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is secured in a vise or tool-change station before swapping inserts. Inspect the holder seat for chips or debris before seating the new insert, as contamination can affect runout and surface finish. Follow the holder manufacturer's torque and clamping procedure for the insert screw to avoid distorting the insert pocket.
