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

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C214P-0018CI is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in cast iron and similar hard workpiece materials. This insert measures 9/16 inch in diameter with a 140-degree point angle and belongs to the GEN3SYS XT series. It features an AM300 PVD coating applied to a C2 (K20) carbide grade substrate, which helps extend tool life and maintain cutting edge integrity under demanding conditions. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with spade drill bodies in CNC machining centers or drill press setups rely on this insert for repeatable, accurate hole geometry.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in cast iron (material grade K, primary workpiece material code K) in both production and job-shop environments. The GEN3SYS XT series is engineered for productivity in ferrous materials where wear resistance and edge stability are critical. Seat Size 14 matches the corresponding GEN3SYS XT spade drill body of the appropriate shank diameter. A single insert is supplied per package, making this a direct replacement or initial-load option for existing GEN3SYS XT tooling systems.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction at C2 (K20) material grade for hardness and wear resistance in cast iron
• AM300 PVD coating classification extends cutting life and reduces built-up edge
• 140-degree point angle optimized for entry geometry in ferrous workpieces
• Seat Size 14 interface for secure, repeatable seating in compatible GEN3SYS XT drill bodies
• 9/16 inch cutting diameter with compact insert geometry (0.35 inch height, 1.63 inch width, 1.75 inch length)
• Single-piece package quantity supports individual replacement without excess inventory

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN3SYS XT series spade drill bodies accepting a Seat Size 14 insert. Primary workpiece material is cast iron (K-grade materials). Verify seat size and series compatibility with the specific drill body before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and torque should follow the drill body manufacturer guidelines for the GEN3SYS XT system. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or installing any spade drill insert. Use the appropriate insert wrench or driver specified for the seat size to avoid damaging the seating surfaces. Inspect the seat and clamping pocket for chips or damage before installing a new insert.
