Allied Machine 453H-0113 Spade Drill Insert 1-13/32 in Cobalt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 453H-0113 is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in demanding metal-cutting applications. This insert features a 132-degree point angle and an AM200 PVD coating that extends tool life in abrasive and high-heat cutting environments. With a 1-13/32 inch diameter and Seat Size 3 classification, it fits the GEN2 T-A spade drill holder system. The insert measures 0.25 inches in thickness and weighs approximately 0.1 pounds. It is suited for machinists, tooling specialists, and CNC operators working in production or job-shop settings where insert replacement speed and cutting consistency matter.

This insert is rated for use across a broad range of primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The GEN2 T-A series designation identifies the holder compatibility and insert geometry family. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations on machining centers, lathes with live tooling, and dedicated drill presses where spade drill systems are preferred for their insert-changeability and cost efficiency versus solid drills.

Key Features

• 1-13/32 inch cutting diameter with Seat Size 3 for GEN2 T-A holder compatibility
• Cobalt substrate provides toughness and heat resistance in interrupted cuts
• AM200 PVD coating reduces friction and extends insert life across multiple work materials
• 132-degree point angle supports self-centering entry and reduces thrust in steel and cast iron
• Rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials
• 0.25 inch insert thickness; lightweight at 0.1 pounds

Compatibility

Designed for use with ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING GEN2 T-A spade drill holder bodies requiring a Seat Size 3 insert. Compatible workpiece material codes: P (steel), M (stainless steel), K (cast iron), S (super-alloys and titanium), and H (hard materials).

Installation Notes

Spade drill insert replacement is performed by machinists or tooling technicians following the machine tool builder lockout and energy-isolation procedures before any insert change. Ensure the holder seat and clamping surfaces are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Use the torque specification provided in the ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING GEN2 T-A holder documentation for the clamping screw — do not estimate. Inspect the seat for wear or damage at each insert change interval to maintain drilling accuracy and prevent holder damage.
