Allied 7C212P-.484 Spade Drill Insert 31/64 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C212P-.484 is a carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in demanding industrial and machining applications. Built to GEN3SYS XT series standards, this insert features a 140-degree point angle and a 31/64-inch diameter, making it well suited for clean, accurate entry cuts in tough workpiece materials. The AM300 PVD coating provides a hard, wear-resistant surface layer that extends tool life under high-speed and high-feed conditions. Seat Size 12 ensures a secure, repeatable fit in compatible spade drill holders. This insert is installed by machinists and tooling specialists operating CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and similar equipment.

This insert is intended for use in metal-cutting environments where material hardness and heat generation are primary concerns. Documented compatible workpiece materials include stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It is a strong fit for job shops, aerospace component machining, and general industrial production where consistent hole geometry and extended insert life are required. The fractional inch measurement system makes it straightforward to integrate into standard inch-based tooling setups.

Key Features

• 31/64-inch diameter with a 140-degree point angle for aggressive, centered entry
• Carbide construction graded C2 (K20) for hardness and thermal resistance
• AM300 PVD coating classification reduces friction and extends wear life
• GEN3SYS XT series design for improved chip control and cutting geometry
• Seat Size 12 for precise, repeatable holder engagement
• Rated for stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN3SYS XT series spade drill holders that accept a Seat Size 12 insert. Compatible workpiece materials include stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium (material codes M, K, N, and S).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the drill holder and machine spindle are fully powered down and locked out before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the holder manufacturer to secure the insert to the correct clamp torque without over-tightening. Confirm proper insert seating and holder condition before returning the tool to service.
