Allied Machine 182T-0107 Spade Drill Insert Cobalt Tin

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 182T-0107 is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding machining environments. Part of the T-A series, this insert features a 132-degree point angle and a physical vapor deposition (PVD) titanium nitride (TiN) coating that extends cutting edge life and reduces heat buildup at the tip. With a 1-7/32 inch diameter and a Seat Size 2 designation, it mounts into compatible T-A series spade drill holders. Machinists and tool-room professionals working with heavy-duty drilling applications rely on this insert for consistent, repeatable performance across a range of workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for production and job-shop drilling operations where material removal rate and hole quality are priorities. It is rated for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO material codes P, M, K, S, and H. Typical applications include deep-hole drilling on lathes, machining centers, and drill presses where a spade-style insert holder is in use. The TiN coating provides a general-purpose performance advantage across this broad material range.

Key Features

• 132-degree point angle for balanced cutting geometry in a wide range of materials
• Cobalt substrate provides toughness and heat resistance beyond standard high-speed steel
• PVD TiN coating reduces friction and extends insert service life
• Rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO P, M, K, S, H)
• Sold as a single insert; minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A series Seat Size 2 spade drill holders. Verify holder seat size and series designation before installation to confirm proper fit and clamping engagement.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power locked out. Seat the insert flush against the holder pocket and torque the clamping screw using the holder manufacturer's recommended insert key — do not substitute fasteners or improvise seating. Inspect the holder seat for chips or wear before installing a new insert, as debris under the insert can cause deflection and premature edge failure.
