Allied Machine 1C2ZA-0016 Spade Drill Insert 1/2 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1C2ZA-0016 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. It carries a 1/2 inch diameter, fits Seat Size Z holders in the T-A series, and features a 132-degree point angle for accurate entry and reduced thrust. The insert is coated with TiAlN via a PVD process, which improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting environments. Carbide grade C2 (K20) provides the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent performance in production settings. Installation is handled by machinists and tooling specialists working with T-A series spade drill bodies.

This insert is intended for use with compatible T-A series spade drill holders in CNC machining centers, lathes, and drill presses. It is suited for drilling operations in stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, super-alloys, and titanium. The TiAlN coating and solid carbide substrate make it a practical choice for shops that run mixed-material production schedules or work regularly with harder workpiece materials. Package quantity is 1 insert per unit.
