Allied 7C112P-.484 Spade Drill Insert 31/64 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C112P-.484 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for precision hole-making in demanding metal-cutting applications. With a 31/64-inch cutting diameter and a 140-degree point angle, this insert delivers accurate entry geometry and reduced thrust forces when drilling into steel and hard materials. The AM300 PVD coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection, extending tool life in high-cycle production environments. Machining professionals and tool-crib technicians working in job shops, manufacturing facilities, or maintenance operations will specify this insert for its consistent performance and OEM-grade construction.

This spade drill insert belongs to the GEN3SYS XT series and is sized for Seat Size 12 bodies. It is intended for use in steel and hard material workpieces, making it well suited for general-purpose production drilling, fixture work, and structural component machining. The C1 (K35) carbide grade is appropriate for applications requiring high hardness and edge retention when cutting ferrous materials at moderate to aggressive feed rates.

Key Features

• 31/64-inch cutting diameter for precise bore sizing in standard drilling operations
• 140-degree point angle reduces entry force and improves self-centering on steel
• Solid carbide construction with C1 (K35) material grade for hardness and wear resistance
• AM300 PVD coating provides thermal and abrasion protection in ferrous cutting
• GEN3SYS XT series compatibility for use with matching Seat Size 12 drill bodies
• Rated for steel and hard material workpieces under ISO material codes P and H

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN3SYS XT series spade drill bodies sized for Seat Size 12. Intended primary workpiece materials are steel and hard materials per ISO codes P and H.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machining or tooling technician following the drill body manufacturer's insert seating and torque procedures. Ensure the drill body is fully removed from the spindle and the machine is powered down and locked out before changing inserts. Inspect the seat pocket for chips or debris before seating the insert, as contamination can cause misalignment and premature failure. Follow the tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and coating type.
