Allied Machine 45ZH-0015 Spade Drill Insert 15/32 in Cobalt

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 45ZH-0015 is a cobalt spade drill insert designed for use in GEN2 T-A series spade drill holders. This insert measures 15/32 inches in diameter and features a 132-degree point angle, providing precise, stable entry geometry suited for production drilling applications. The AM200 PVD coating enhances wear resistance and heat dissipation, extending tool life in demanding cutting conditions. With a seat size of Z and a thickness of 0.0938 inches, the insert is engineered for direct replacement in compatible T-A series bodies. It is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in CNC and manual drilling operations.

This insert is intended for drilling operations on a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. It is well suited for use in job shop and production environments where consistent hole quality and tool life are priorities. The GEN2 T-A series platform is a widely used modular spade drill system, and this insert slots into that ecosystem for rapid changeover without removing the holder body from the machine spindle.
