Allied Machine 180A-0019 Spade Drill Insert 19/32 in Cobalt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 180A-0019 is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding machining environments. Built to the T-A Series standard with a Seat Size 0 designation, this insert features a 132-degree point angle and a TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) PVD coating that extends tool life in abrasive and high-heat cutting conditions. The insert measures 19/32 inches in diameter and 0.125 inches thick, making it a precision-ground replacement blade for compatible T-A Series spade drill holders. Machinists, tool-and-die shops, and production drilling operations rely on this insert for consistent hole geometry and repeatable performance across a range of workpiece materials.

The 180A-0019 is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. These material classifications correspond to ISO workpiece codes P, M, K, S, and H, covering the broad spectrum of ferrous and difficult-to-machine alloys encountered in aerospace, energy, and general manufacturing applications. The TiAlN coating provides thermal resistance that is especially valuable when drilling stainless steel and super-alloys at elevated cutting speeds. This insert is intended for use in CNC machining centers, lathes, and dedicated drilling machines equipped with a compatible Seat Size 0 T-A Series holder.

Key Features

• 19/32 inch diameter with 0.125 inch insert thickness for precise fit in Seat Size 0 holders
• 132-degree point angle provides aggressive penetration and reduced thrust in a variety of workpiece materials
• Cobalt substrate offers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel
• TiAlN PVD coating extends tool life in high-temperature cutting of stainless steel, super-alloys, and titanium
• Compatible with ISO workpiece material groups P, M, K, S, and H
• T-A Series design ensures drop-in fit with existing Allied Machine T-A spade drill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement spade drill insert for Allied Machine and Engineering T-A Series Seat Size 0 spade drill holders. Consult the T-A Series holder documentation to confirm seat size and insert diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

Spade drill insert replacement is performed by qualified machinists following established lockout and machine-stop procedures before accessing the holder. Ensure the holder seat and clamping screw are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Torque the clamping screw to the holder manufacturer specification found in the T-A Series tool documentation. Inspect the insert seating surface for chips or deformation that could affect runout before returning the tool to service.
