Measuring 43\/64 inches in diameter with a 140-degree point angle, this insert seats into a size 17 spade drill holder and delivers consistent, repeatable bore entry. It carries an AM300 PVD coating rated for grade C2 (K20) carbide, which improves surface finish and extends tool life when cutting stainless steel and similar ferrous materials. Machining professionals, tool-and-die shops, and production drillers install this insert as part of the GEN3SYS XT platform for indexable spade drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for use in production machining environments where stainless steel and other M-grade workpiece materials are drilled at moderate-to-high feed rates. The GEN3SYS XT series is engineered for through-coolant spade drill bodies and is well suited to CNC machining centers and drill presses where tool change speed and insert indexability reduce downtime. The 140-degree point geometry helps reduce thrust force and improve hole entry on difficult-to-machine alloys, making it a practical choice for aerospace, oil and gas, and general manufacturing setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e43\/64 inch diameter with 140-degree point angle for reduced entry thrust on tough alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with C2 (K20) material grade for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAM300 PVD coating enhances lubricity and heat resistance for extended insert life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeat Size 17 indexes directly into compatible GEN3SYS XT spade drill bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimized geometry for primary workpiece materials classified as stainless steel (M-grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually — package quantity of 1 per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with GEN3SYS XT series Seat Size 17 spade drill holders.

Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the drill body manufacturer to seat the insert securely — do not overtighten by hand estimation alone. Inspect the insert pocket and seat for chips or burrs before seating a new insert to ensure full contact and repeatable runout. Follow shop safety protocols and manufacturer tooling documentation for feed rate and speed recommendations appropriate to the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 43\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2 (K20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AM300\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEN3SYS XT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel (M-grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.005 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7C217P-.671AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730176672050,"sku":"7C217P-.671AS","price":140.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/09d3ebec1a4786f21f23edebed645391_98f23bda-4a31-4b87-ab4e-8be1c3c97efb.jpg?v=1788713010","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/allied-7c217p-671as-spade-drill-insert-43-64-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
