Allied 7C214P-0018AS Spade Drill Insert 9/16 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C214P-0018AS is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding machining applications. It features a 9/16 inch diameter cutting edge with a 140-degree point angle and an AM300 PVD coating, part of the GEN3SYS XT series. The C2 (K20) carbide grade provides the hardness and wear resistance required when drilling stainless steel and other difficult-to-machine alloys. This insert seats into a compatible Seat Size 14 spade drill holder and is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in CNC and manual machining environments.

The 7C214P-0018AS is engineered primarily for stainless steel (Material Grade M) applications, including production drilling in aerospace, oil and gas, food processing, and industrial manufacturing settings. The GEN3SYS XT series is built for high-penetration-rate drilling where insert changeability and consistent hole quality are priorities. The AM300 PVD coating supports extended tool life in heat-generating cuts typical of austenitic and martensitic stainless grades.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with C2 (K20) manufacturer grade for hardness and wear resistance
• AM300 PVD coating extends tool life in stainless steel and abrasive materials
• 140-degree point angle reduces thrust force and improves chip formation at entry
• 9/16 inch cutting diameter with Seat Size 14 compatibility for GEN3SYS XT holders
• Part of the GEN3SYS XT series, designed for high-penetration-rate production drilling

Compatibility

Designed for use with Seat Size 14 spade drill holders in the GEN3SYS XT series. Primary workpiece material is stainless steel (Material Grade M). Consult the Allied Machine and Engineering GEN3SYS XT system documentation to confirm holder compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the spade drill holder is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the insert, as contamination on the seat face can affect runout and tool life. Torque the insert clamp screw according to the holder manufacturer specifications for Seat Size 14 holders. Power down and lock out all spindle drives before performing any insert change on the machine.
