Allied Machine 4C10P-13 Spade Drill Insert 13mm Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 4C10P-13 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in steel and hard materials. This insert mounts into a compatible spade drill holder and delivers precise hole entry and exit geometry thanks to its 132-degree point angle. The AM300 PVD coating provides wear resistance and thermal stability during aggressive metal removal. Manufactured to GEN2 T-A series standards, the 4C10P-13 carries a C1 (K35) material grade, making it well suited for demanding production drilling environments where tool life and hole quality are critical. Licensed machinists and tool and die professionals are the primary installers of this insert type.

This insert is sized at 13 mm diameter with a Seat Size 0 designation, fitting GEN2 T-A series spade drill holders. Typical applications include drilling steel and hard materials in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and production turning centers. The 132-degree point angle is appropriate for general-purpose through-hole and blind-hole drilling in ferrous metals. It is suited for both job shop and production floor use where consistent hole geometry is required across multiple parts.

Installation Notes

Insert installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the tool manufacturer's torque and seating procedures for the specific holder in use. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or seating any cutting insert. Inspect the holder seat and clamping screw for damage or debris before installing the insert. Do not use an insert that shows chipping, cracking, or coating delamination.
