Allied Machine and Engineering, a manufacturer of hole-making and finish-cutting tools, has expanded it T-A Pro replaceable-insert drilling line into the Y series. With a diameter range of (9.5-11.09 mm), T-A Pro Y series is available in stub to 15xD and ISO-specific carbide grades P, K, and N, as well as high-speed steel substrate X. 

Adding the Y series to the diameter offering of the T-A Pro line, which has a complete range of (9.5-47.8 mm), gives machine shops using high-speed steel twist drills and conventional style tools the opportunity to upgrade to a better system.

Additionally, for those using solid-carbide tooling, the Y series offers exchangeable tips, eliminating the need for regrinding, while also providing the ability to target specific materials and applications with an ISO-specific geometry selection on a single holder body. Ultimately, T-A Pro Y series benefits smaller scale part runs in various industries because of its favourable cost per hole. 

Like the T-A Pro Z series, the Y series is available in A and B body diameters. Offered in both imperial and metric as well as flat and cylindrical shanks for all length options, the Y series serves as an upgrade to manufacturing processes while also allowing machinists to increase throughput in their machining applications.  

John Weniger, product manager, says: “The T-A Pro line has established itself in the market as a go-to drilling solution that over-delivers on performance, reliability and consistency. The expansion of the T-A Pro drilling line into the Y series allows users to experience the benefits of the T-A Pro line at smaller diameters.”
