Allied Machine and Engineering, a leading manufacturer of holemaking and finishing cutting tools for the metal-cutting industry, is showcasing the T-A Pro at in booth 5453. The T-A Pro drilling system is said to provide extended tool life, consistently create quality holes and deliver superior chip evacuation even in the toughest applications.
The T-A Pro drill body incorporates straight flutes designed for maximum coolant flow and excellent rigidity while the material-specific insert geometries produce optimal chip formation. These insert geometries include steel (P) with AM300 coating; cast iron (K) with TiAIN coating; nonferrous (N) with TiCN coating; stainless steel (M) with AM460 coating; and high-speed steel substrate (X) with AM200 coating.
Adding to the material-specific inserts available for the T-A Pro, Allied most recently launched the new M geometry insert with AM460 coating, which targets stainless steel and heat-resistant super alloy (HRSA) materials. With the release of the M geometry and its proprietary margin design, Allied is able to provide a tool that reportedly offers low cutting forces, excellent penetration rates and long tool life in challenging stainless and HRSA materials. The new insert geometry features newly designed T-A Pro holders, but is also compatible with T-A holders.
