Allied Machine 1C52T-0110 Spade Drill Insert 1-5/16 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1C52T-0110 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making operations on ferrous and hard materials. Part of the T-A Series, this insert features a 132-degree point angle and a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating that extends tool life by reducing friction and heat buildup at the cutting edge. It seats into a Size 2 holder at a thickness of 0.1875 inches. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in production environments install this insert into compatible T-A Series spade drill bodies to achieve consistent bore quality in steel and hard material applications.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in steel and hard material workpieces, corresponding to material grades P and H. The T-A Series system is commonly used in CNC machining centers, lathes, and drill presses across general metalworking, aerospace component production, and heavy manufacturing environments where repeatable hole geometry and extended insert life are priorities. The Seat Size 2 designation matches specific T-A Series spade drill holders and should be verified against the holder specification before installation.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction at manufacturer grade C5 (P40) for rigidity and wear resistance in steel cutting
• TiN PVD coating reduces cutting-edge friction and extends insert service life
• 132-degree point angle optimized for drilling steel and hard materials
• Seat Size 2 fits standard T-A Series spade drill bodies
• Insert thickness of 0.1875 inches for precise seating and repeatable tool geometry
• Single-insert packaging allows individual replacement without full tool purchase

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 fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before changing inserts, ensure the machine is fully powered down, the spindle is locked, and all stored energy is released per your facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the correct torque wrench and insert screws specified by the holder manufacturer — do not substitute hardware. Inspect the holder seat for wear or debris before seating the new insert, as a damaged seat will affect hole quality and can cause insert fracture during cutting.
