Manufactured from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) PVD coating, this insert delivers extended tool life and heat resistance at elevated cutting speeds. It features a 7\/8 inch cutting diameter, a 132-degree point angle optimized for clean entry and accurate positioning, and a Seat Size 1 profile compatible with the T-A spade drill system. The 0.1563 inch insert thickness provides rigidity across a range of feed and speed conditions. Machinists and tool-room professionals install this insert as a direct replacement blade in compatible T-A holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for production drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. It fits residential and commercial machine shop environments as well as production floor applications where through-hole and blind-hole drilling are performed with T-A series spade drill bodies. The TiAlN coating makes it particularly effective in dry or minimal-lubrication cutting conditions where surface temperatures are elevated. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 2 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/8 inch cutting diameter with 132-degree point angle for accurate hole entry and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt substrate provides superior hardness and heat resistance compared to standard high-speed steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiAlN PVD coating extends tool life in ferrous and hard-material cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeat Size 1 profile fits T-A series spade drill bodies for quick blade changeout without removing the holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.1563 inch insert thickness maintains stability across moderate to aggressive feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible primary workpiece materials span ISO material groups P, M, K, S, and H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Seat Size 1 T-A series spade drill holders.

The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the holder secured before removing or seating an insert. Ensure the insert pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before installing the new blade. Follow the holder manufacturer's torque guidance for the insert clamping screw to prevent insert movement during cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1563 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: T-A\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Super-alloys, 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 insert per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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: 181A-0028\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734791848242,"sku":"181A-0028","price":123.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/018dd13e89e27846da59559c85267889_df558ab5-84cf-4915-9daf-eb3d25d7a8e3.jpg?v=1788766994","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/allied-machine-181a-0028-spade-drill-insert-7-8-in-cobalt-tialn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
