Allied Machine TAN2-24.50 Spade Drill Insert 24.5mm Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING TAN2-24.50 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making operations in non-ferrous metal workpieces. Part of the T-A Pro series, this insert features a 24.5mm diameter, a 132-degree point angle, and a PVD-applied TiCN coating that extends cutting edge life and reduces built-up edge in aluminum, copper, brass, and similar materials. At 0.05 pounds, it is a compact, precision-ground indexable insert intended for use in compatible T-A Pro spade drill bodies. Machinists and tooling specialists in production and job-shop environments rely on this insert for consistent hole geometry and predictable tool life.

This insert is sized for Seat Size 2 T-A Pro drill bodies and is suited for drilling non-ferrous metals in CNC machining centers, lathes, and dedicated drilling equipment. The 24.5mm cutting diameter targets applications requiring precise bore sizing without interpolation. The TiCN PVD coating makes it particularly effective in applications where heat buildup and adhesion are concerns, such as high-speed aluminum drilling or copper alloy work. Typical users include CNC machinists and tool cribs in aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking shops.

Key Features

• 24.5mm cutting diameter with 132-degree point angle for aggressive chip splitting and accurate entry
• Solid carbide substrate provides rigidity and resistance to deflection in deep-hole applications
• TiCN PVD coating reduces friction and adhesion on non-ferrous workpiece materials
• Seat Size 2 designation ensures direct fitment in compatible T-A Pro spade drill holders
• Indexable insert design allows quick changeover without removing the drill body from the spindle
• Compact geometry: approximately 1.97 inches wide by 0.28 inches tall, 0.1875 inches thick

Compatibility

Designed for use with Allied Machine and Engineering T-A Pro series Seat Size 2 spade drill bodies. Optimized for drilling non-ferrous metal workpiece materials as designated by workpiece material code N.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the manufacturer-recommended insert screw and torque driver for the T-A Pro body to ensure proper seating and prevent insert movement under load. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or damage before installing a new insert, and verify coolant delivery paths are clear prior to resuming cutting operations.
