Allied Machine 1C22T-0100 Spade Drill Insert 1 in Carbide Tin

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1C22T-0100 is a carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding machining applications. Built to T-A Series specifications, this insert measures 1 inch in diameter with a 132-degree point angle and a thickness of 0.1875 inches. The insert carries a C2 (K20) material grade and features a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating that extends tool life by reducing friction and wear at the cutting edge. It is installed and replaced by machinists and toolroom technicians working with T-A Series spade drill holders.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. The 132-degree point geometry is optimized for harder and more abrasive workpiece materials where a sharper point angle improves penetration and chip control. Typical use cases include production drilling on CNC machining centers and manual drill presses where consistent hole diameter and tool life are critical priorities. The fractional inch sizing fits standard T-A Series Seat Size 2 holders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before inserting or replacing the spade drill insert. Use the appropriate T-A Series holder torque procedure per the holder manufacturer's documentation and ensure the insert seats fully and evenly in the pocket before resuming operation. Inspect the insert seating surface and holder pocket for chips or debris before each installation.
