Allied Machine 1C2ZT-0014 Spade Drill Insert 7/16 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1C2ZT-0014 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for precision hole-making in demanding machining applications. Built to the T-A series standard, this insert measures 7/16 inch in diameter with a seat size Z designation and a 132-degree point angle. The TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating reduces friction and extends tool life in high-wear cutting environments. At a thickness of 0.0938 inches and a weight of 0.1 pounds, this insert is engineered for use in compatible T-A series spade drill holders. It is typically installed and operated by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators working with precision drilling equipment.

This insert is suited for drilling operations across a range of workpiece materials, including stainless steel (ISO material code M), cast iron (K), non-ferrous metals (N), and super-alloys and titanium (S). These material classifications make the 1C2ZT-0014 a versatile option for aerospace, general manufacturing, and heavy industrial machining environments where consistent hole geometry and tool durability are critical requirements. The C2 (K20) carbide grade provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for these challenging material types.

Key Features

• 7/16 inch diameter with seat size Z, matched to T-A series spade drill holders
• Solid carbide construction at manufacturer grade C2 (K20) for hardness and wear resistance
• TiN PVD coating reduces friction and extends insert service life
• 132-degree point angle for controlled entry and reduced thrust in multi-material drilling
• Rated for stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, super-alloys, and titanium
• Compact at 0.0938 inches thickness and 0.1 pounds for easy holder installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A series spade drill holders accepting a seat size Z insert. Verify holder seat size and series designation before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out all spindle and machine motion before inserting or removing the drill insert. Seat the insert fully and securely in the holder per the holder manufacturer torque and clamping guidelines. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation to prevent seating errors that could cause insert breakage or dimensional inaccuracy.
