Allied Drilling System Delivers High Penetration Rates with Versatile T-A Pro Technology!

At Eastec 2025, Allied Machine and Engineering showcased its innovative T-A Pro high-penetration drilling system, designed to offer a high-performance solution that combines excellent penetration capabilities with versatility across a wide range of sizes. This system is particularly suited for manufacturers looking to achieve extended tool life while maintaining high penetration rates in their drilling operations.

The T-A Pro drilling system covers a diameter range from 0.3739″ to 1.8820″ (9.50-47.80 mm), making it adaptable for a variety of holemaking applications. One of its standout features is its ability to deliver the consistency of a spade drill combined with the high penetration rates of a high-performance drill, making it a reliable choice for diverse manufacturing needs.

The tool’s high-speed steel geometry insert not only ensures optimal chip formation but also allows the drill to withstand interruptions during the cutting process. This makes the T-A Pro especially valuable in applications where the balance between chip formation and penetration rate is critical to achieving high efficiency without compromising tool longevity.

To further enhance performance, the T-A Pro can be paired with special guided T-A toolholders. These toolholders feature carbide guides that extend the margins on the insert, providing stability and ensuring that hole straightness is maintained throughout the drilling process. This combination allows for precise and consistent holemaking even under demanding conditions, increasing the overall tool life and improving drilling efficiency.

In traditional drilling applications, creating a 90-degree bend at the intersection of cross holes often requires grinding custom forms into high-speed steel twist drills. However, with the T-A Pro system, manufacturers now have a more efficient secondary forming option. The replaceable ball nose T-A insert allows for creating a 90-degree bend at the bottom of holes, offering a convenient and cost-effective alternative to custom grinding.

This innovative feature expands the functionality of the T-A Pro drilling system, making it not only a go-to tool for general-purpose machining but also a versatile solution for more specialized holemaking applications. It enables manufacturers to achieve precise, high-quality results in a range of challenging scenarios, further enhancing the tool’s value.

Allied Machine’s T-A Pro high-penetration drilling system is designed to handle the rigorous demands of various industrial sectors, from aerospace to automotive, where high penetration rates, precision, and reliability are paramount. The tool’s versatility and ability to maintain performance across a wide range of sizes make it a critical asset for manufacturers looking to improve both the speed and accuracy of their drilling operations.

In summary, Allied Machine and Engineering’s T-A Pro high-penetration drilling system is a powerful tool that delivers exceptional performance across a broad diameter range. With its advanced geometry, replaceable ball nose inserts, and compatibility with guided T-A toolholders, the system offers manufacturers a reliable, efficient, and long-lasting solution for high-speed drilling, ensuring both precision and versatility in a wide array of applications.
