Allied 7C213P-.546AS Spade Drill Insert 35/64 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C213P-.546AS is a solid carbide spade drill insert engineered for high-performance hole-making in demanding materials. Sized at 35/64 inches in diameter and rated for Seat Size 13 toolholders, this insert features a 140-degree point angle and an AM300 PVD coating from the GEN3SYS XT series. The AM300 coating is formulated for extended tool life in stainless steel and other difficult-to-machine workpiece materials. Machinists and tooling specialists in production and job-shop environments select this insert when dimensional accuracy and surface finish in tough alloys are critical requirements.

This insert is designed for use in stainless steel and M-grade workpiece materials as classified by ISO material coding. It fits within the GEN3SYS XT modular spade drilling system, pairing with compatible Seat Size 13 spade drill bodies. Typical applications include deep-hole drilling operations on machining centers and CNC lathes where coolant-fed toolholders and rigid fixturing are standard. The C2 (K20) carbide grade provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for interrupted cuts and continuous feed operations in corrosion-resistant alloys.

Key Features

• 35/64 inch diameter for precise hole sizing in stainless steel and M-grade materials
• 140-degree point angle reduces thrust and improves chip formation at entry
• Solid carbide construction with C2 (K20) grade for hardness and thermal resistance
• AM300 PVD coating extends cutting edge life in abrasive and work-hardening materials
• GEN3SYS XT series geometry optimized for high-feed modular spade drilling systems
• Seat Size 13 indexing ensures repeatable insert location and consistent hole tolerance

Compatibility

Designed for use with Seat Size 13 GEN3SYS XT spade drill bodies. Specific compatible drill body part numbers were not provided in the product data; consult ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING tooling documentation to confirm body compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified tooling technician following the toolholder manufacturer torque and seating procedures. Ensure the drill body seat is clean and free of chips or debris before indexing the insert to prevent seating errors and premature edge failure. Verify coolant flow through the toolholder before initiating the cut, as AM300-coated carbide inserts in stainless steel applications depend on consistent coolant delivery to manage heat at the cutting zone. Never force an insert into a damaged or worn seat.
