Part of the T-A Pro series, this insert measures 1-3\/4 inches in diameter and features a 132-degree point angle optimized for controlled entry and chip formation. The insert is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) and carries an AM200 PVD coating, which improves surface hardness and wear resistance under demanding cutting conditions. At 0.25 inches thick, it is designed to seat securely in Seat Size 3 T-A Pro holders for rigid, repeatable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for drilling operations in general machining environments, including job shops and production facilities working with steel and cast iron components. The T-A Pro series is widely used in CNC machining centers and drill presses where consistent hole quality and insert changeability are priorities. The 132-degree point angle makes it appropriate for flat-bottom entry and through-hole applications in medium to hard workpiece materials. Machinists and tooling specialists handling ferrous and non-ferrous stock will find this insert a direct fit for standard T-A Pro Seat Size 3 toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-3\/4 inch diameter with 132-degree point angle for controlled chip formation and stable entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides toughness in interrupted cuts and variable-hardness materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAM200 PVD coating enhances wear resistance and extends tool life in steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeat Size 3 designation ensures compatibility with corresponding T-A Pro series holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25 inch insert thickness for rigid seating and consistent depth repeatability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFractional inch sizing system for straightforward selection and replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with T-A Pro series Seat Size 3 spade drill holders.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is removed from the machine before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully and verify torque on the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer's guidelines before resuming cutting. Inspect the seat pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to prevent rocking or premature wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AM200\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: T-A Pro\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.36 inches x 2.36 inches x 0.32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TAX3-44.45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755167318322,"sku":"TAX3-44.45","price":97.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b0c72450d8781318eff54c3858fb2cba.jpg?v=1788951750","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/allied-machine-tax3-44-45-spade-drill-insert-1-3-4-in-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
