Allied Machine 452H-32 Spade Drill Insert 32mm Cobalt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 452H-32 is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in a wide range of workpiece materials. Part of the GEN2 T-A series, this insert features a 132-degree point angle and an AM200 PVD coating that extends tool life under demanding cutting conditions. At 32 mm in diameter with a Seat Size 2 designation and a thickness of 0.1875 inches, it fits GEN2 T-A spade drill bodies used in industrial machining operations. Licensed machinists, tooling specialists, and CNC operators rely on this insert for consistent, repeatable hole quality across production runs.

This insert is rated for use across a broad spectrum of primary workpiece materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. It is suited for both horizontal and vertical machining center applications where controlled penetration rates and long insert life are required. The GEN2 T-A platform is widely used in production environments where indexable spade drilling replaces solid carbide drilling for cost efficiency and flexibility across material types.

• Cobalt insert material provides toughness in interrupted cuts and abrasive workpieces
• AM200 PVD coating classification enhances wear resistance and heat management at the cutting edge
• Rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials
• Packaged individually, sold in single-unit quantity

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN2 T-A series spade drill bodies accepting Seat Size 2 inserts at 32 mm diameter. Confirm body seat size and series designation before installation to ensure proper seating and clamping.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with indexable spade drill systems. Ensure the drill body is fully removed from the spindle and the machine is locked out before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully and evenly in the body pocket, and verify the clamping screw torque is appropriate per the tool body manufacturer guidelines. Do not use damaged or out-of-spec bodies, as improper seating can cause insert breakage or workpiece damage.
