Allied Machine 150T-14.5 Spade Drill Insert 14.5mm Cobalt Tin

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 150T-14.5 is a spade drill insert engineered for high-performance hole-making in demanding metalworking applications. This insert measures 14.5 mm in diameter and seats in a Size 0 holder. It is manufactured from T15 cobalt high-speed steel and features a physical vapor deposition (PVD) titanium nitride (TiN) coating that extends tool life by reducing friction and improving wear resistance. The 132-degree point angle is well-suited for work in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and super-alloys including titanium. The insert is 0.125 inches thick and is part of the T-A Series spade drill system. Machinists and tooling specialists install these inserts in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual lathes.

The 150T-14.5 is designed for use in the T-A Series spade drill system, a widely used indexable drilling platform in production machining environments. Typical applications include drilling in steel (ISO P), stainless steel (ISO M), cast iron (ISO K), and super-alloys and titanium (ISO S). This insert is well-matched to high-volume production shops, tool rooms, and job shops running ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of one.

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. The machine spindle must be stopped and all energy sources locked out before seating or removing the insert. Ensure the holder seat is clean and free of chips or debris before installing the insert to maintain proper seating and runout. Follow the tool holder manufacturer torque guidelines for the insert screw; over-tightening can crack the insert body.
