Allied Machine 182A-0100 Spade Drill Insert 1 in Cobalt Tialn

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 182A-0100 is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making operations in demanding materials. Part of the T-A series, this insert features a 132-degree point angle and a TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) PVD coating that extends tool life by reducing heat buildup and wear at the cutting edge. With a 1-inch cutting diameter and a Seat Size 2 designation, it mounts into compatible T-A series spade drill holders. The 0.1875-inch insert thickness provides rigidity during deep-hole drilling. This insert is specified by machinists and tooling technicians working in production machining environments.

The 182A-0100 is suited for drilling operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. It fits within the T-A interchangeable spade drill system, making it a practical choice for shops running high-volume drilling on CNC lathes, machining centers, or drill presses where insert replacement speed and repeatability matter. The TiAlN coating makes it particularly effective in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions where heat resistance is critical.

Key Features

• 1-inch cutting diameter with Seat Size 2 for T-A series holder compatibility
• Cobalt substrate provides toughness and heat resistance in interrupted cuts
• TiAlN PVD coating reduces friction and extends tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 132-degree point angle suits a wide range of workpiece materials including steel and cast iron
• 0.1875-inch insert thickness delivers cutting edge rigidity during deep-hole applications
• Rated for use in steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), super-alloys and titanium (S), and hard materials (H)

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A series Seat Size 2 spade drill holders. Compatible workpiece material classifications include P (steel), M (stainless steel), K (cast iron), S (super-alloys and titanium), and H (hard materials).

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the holder manufacturer's torque and seating procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation, as contamination affects seating accuracy and can damage the holder. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when handling cutting inserts.
