Manufactured from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) PVD coating, this insert delivers improved heat resistance and extended tool life compared to uncoated alternatives. It features a 132-degree point angle suited for consistent entry geometry and reduced thrust on harder materials. The insert measures 0.125 inches in thickness and carries a seat size of 0, placing it in the T-A series product family. It is sold individually and is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is designed for use in T-A series spade drill bodies with a seat size 0 designation. It is rated for drilling into multiple primary workpiece material categories including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys and titanium, and hard materials, making it suitable for aerospace, energy, heavy equipment, and general metalworking applications. The TiAlN coating provides oxidation resistance at elevated cutting temperatures, which is particularly relevant when drilling super-alloys and titanium at higher surface speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e37\/64 inch diameter cobalt spade drill insert for aggressive material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e132-degree point angle for controlled entry and reduced axial thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiAlN PVD coating for elevated heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eT-A series, seat size 0 — mates with compatible Allied T-A spade drill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.125 inch insert thickness for consistent seating in the drill body pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Allied Machine and Engineering T-A series spade drill bodies requiring a seat size 0 insert.

Ensure the drill body pocket and clamping screw are clean and free of chips before seating the insert, as debris under the insert can cause premature failure or runout. Use the correct torque driver and manufacturer-specified screw for the seat size to avoid stripping the clamping interface. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before performing any insert change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: T-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Super-alloys and Titanium, Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180A-.578\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738427425074,"sku":"180A-.578","price":64.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c59c5ce13d5cf398c79adf0b24424049_7cdccf05-da2a-41ff-bce2-a7756f5141fb.jpg?v=1788799412","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/allied-machine-180a-578-spade-drill-insert-37-64-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
