Allied Machine 182A-0108 Spade Drill Insert 1-1/4 in Cobalt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 182A-0108 is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making operations on a wide range of ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials. This insert measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and features a 132-degree point angle for efficient chip formation and reduced thrust forces. The TiAlN (titanium aluminum nitride) PVD coating provides elevated heat resistance and wear protection, extending tool life in demanding cutting environments. At 0.1875 inches thick, the insert seats into a Seat Size 2 T-A series holder. Installation and use are appropriate for machining professionals and toolroom technicians working with industrial drilling equipment.

This insert is intended for use in T-A series Seat Size 2 spade drill holders in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills. It is suited for drilling operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. Typical applications include production drilling in aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking environments where consistent hole quality and extended tool life in tough workpiece materials are required.

Installation Notes

Spade drill inserts are installed and serviced by toolroom technicians or CNC machine operators. Always power down and lock out the machine before removing or installing the insert. Use the appropriate T-A series insert screw and torque to the holder manufacturer's specification using the correct T-handle or hex key. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure full, flat contact and accurate hole geometry.
