Allied Machine 453H-0118 Spade Drill Insert 1-9/16 in Cobalt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 453H-0118 is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in demanding industrial applications. With a 1-9/16 inch diameter, a 132-degree point angle, and an AM200 PVD coating, this insert delivers consistent cutting performance in tough workpiece materials. It fits Seat Size 3 holders in the GEN2 T-A spade drill system. The cobalt substrate combined with the AM200 coating provides thermal and wear resistance during high-speed drilling operations. This insert is intended for use by machining professionals and toolroom technicians working on production or job-shop equipment.

This insert is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The GEN2 T-A system is widely used in CNC machining centers, lathes with live tooling, and dedicated drilling machines across general manufacturing, aerospace, energy, and heavy industry environments. The 132-degree point geometry reduces thrust and improves centering in a broad range of workpiece materials, making this insert a versatile choice for production drilling programs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is secured in a safe position before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the holder manufacturer when seating the insert, and verify the insert is fully seated and locked before resuming operation. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling system guidelines for cutting parameters when introducing a new insert into a production run.
