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

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 453T-0113 is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in a wide range of industrial materials. Part of the GEN2 T-A series, this insert features a 132-degree point angle and a titanium nitride (TiN) PVD coating that extends tool life by reducing friction and heat buildup at the cutting edge. Seat Size 3 and a 0.25-inch thickness provide a rigid, repeatable fit in compatible spade drill holders. The fractional inch diameter of 1-13/32 inches makes this insert well suited for precision drilling operations where bore sizing is critical.

This insert is intended for use in metalworking and machining environments where drilling into steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials is required. It covers ISO material groups P, M, K, S, and H, making it a versatile option for job shops, production machining cells, and toolroom applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working with spade drill systems will find the TiN coating and cobalt substrate appropriate for demanding production rates and varied material types.

Key Features

• 1-13/32 inch fractional diameter for precise bore sizing
• 132-degree point angle reduces thrust and improves centering on entry
• Cobalt substrate (Material Grade M4) provides toughness and heat resistance
• TiN PVD coating extends insert life and reduces built-up edge in ferrous materials
• Seat Size 3 for a secure, repeatable fit in compatible GEN2 T-A holders
• Compatible with ISO workpiece material groups P, M, K, S, and H

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN2 T-A series spade drill holders requiring a Seat Size 3 insert. Suitable for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in a vise or holder block before seating or removing the insert. Use the correct torque wrench and insert screw as specified by the holder manufacturer — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the seat pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to maintain proper blade alignment and runout.
