Allied Machine 1C5YA-0013 Spade Drill Insert 13/32 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 1C5YA-0013 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in steel and hard materials. Measuring 13/32 inches in diameter with a 132-degree point angle, this insert fits Seat Size Y holders in the T-A series system. The TiAlN coating is applied via PVD process, providing heat and wear resistance suited to demanding cutting conditions. At 0.0938 inches thick and weighing approximately 0.1 pounds, this insert is built for precision metal-removal operations. It is specified in Manufacturer Grade C5 (P40), making it appropriate for machining steel and other ferrous materials at moderate to high cutting speeds.

This insert is used in metalworking and machining operations where spade drill tooling is required for drilling into steel and hard material workpieces. The T-A series spade drill system is a modular platform common in production machining environments, including job shops and manufacturing facilities. The 1C5YA-0013 suits applications requiring repeatable hole quality in steel components. It is installed and replaced by machinists and tooling technicians working with compatible T-A series spade drill holders. Sold in a package quantity of one insert, with a minimum order quantity of two units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in Manufacturer Grade C5 (P40) for durability in steel and hard material cutting
• TiAlN coating applied via PVD process for improved heat resistance and extended tool life
• 132-degree point angle for controlled entry and reduced thrust in ferrous materials
• 13/32 inch diameter, Seat Size Y, compatible with T-A series spade drill holders
• 0.0938 inch insert thickness for precise seating in the holder pocket
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, minimizing holder imbalance at higher spindle speeds

Compatibility

Designed for use with T-A series spade drill holders accepting Seat Size Y inserts at 13/32 inch diameter. Confirm holder seat size and series compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the spindle fully stopped and machine power locked out. Use the appropriate insert screw and torque driver specified for the T-A series holder to seat the insert correctly — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the holder pocket for wear or debris before seating a new insert. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping the cutting edge prior to use.
