Allied Machine 152T-0107-FB Spade Drill Insert 1-7/32 in Cobalt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 152T-0107-FB is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding industrial drilling applications. Part of the T-A Series, this insert features a 180-degree point angle and a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating that reduces friction and extends cutting life. The insert measures 0.1875 inches in thickness and fits a Seat Size 2 holder. At 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight but durable cutting tool suited for production drilling environments where insert replacement frequency is a factor in tooling cost management.

This insert is engineered for use across a broad range of workpiece materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium. It is a fit for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and lathe turret setups where T-A Series Seat Size 2 holders are already in use. The 180-degree point geometry reduces thrust load and improves hole entry stability, making it well suited for through-hole and interrupted-cut operations in job shop and production environments alike. Machinists and tool crib personnel working in metalworking, aerospace, and heavy manufacturing will find this insert a standard consumable replacement.

Key Features

• 1-7/32 inch diameter cutting edge for precise hole sizing in Seat Size 2 holders
• Cobalt substrate provides heat resistance and edge retention in tough alloys
• TiN PVD coating reduces built-up edge and extends tool life between changes
• 180-degree point angle minimizes thrust and improves hole entry accuracy
• Compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium workpieces
• T-A Series design allows fast insert indexing without removing the holder from the spindle

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A Series Seat Size 2 spade drill holders. Compatible primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool crib technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Secure the insert fully in the holder pocket and verify clamping screw torque per the holder manufacturer's guidelines before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the seat and clamping surfaces for chips or debris that could affect insert seating and hole accuracy.
