Allied Machine 1C2ZA-0015 Spade Drill Insert 15/32 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1C2ZA-0015 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in demanding industrial applications. Measuring 15/32 inches in diameter with a 132-degree point angle, this insert seats in a Series T-A holder at seat size Z. The 0.0938-inch thickness and TiAlN PVD coating provide thermal resistance and edge durability during aggressive cutting cycles. Manufactured to C2 (K20) grade carbide, this insert is suited for professionals requiring consistent dimensional accuracy and tool life across production runs.

This insert is engineered for drilling stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. The TiAlN coating makes it particularly effective in high-heat cutting environments where uncoated carbide would degrade rapidly. It fits Allied Machine Series T-A spade drill bodies at seat size Z and is a direct drop-in for production machining setups using that holder system. Machinists in aerospace, energy, and general manufacturing will find this insert well suited to interrupted cuts and difficult-to-machine alloys.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction at C2 (K20) material grade for hardness and wear resistance
• TiAlN PVD coating enhances heat resistance and extends tool life in high-temperature cutting
• 132-degree point angle reduces thrust forces and improves chip evacuation
• 0.0938 inches thickness with seat size Z for positive location in Series T-A holders
• Compatible with primary workpiece materials including stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium

Compatibility

Designed for use with Allied Machine and Engineering Series T-A spade drill bodies accepting seat size Z inserts at 15/32 inches diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist following standard tool change procedures for indexable spade drill systems. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the insert. Ensure the seat pocket is clean and free of chips before securing the insert to achieve proper seating and runout. Follow the tool holder manufacturer torque guidelines for the retaining screw to avoid insert rocking or premature failure.
