Allied 7C224P-0100AS Spade Drill Insert 1 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C224P-0100AS is a solid carbide spade drill insert engineered for high-performance hole-making in demanding materials. Designed for use in GEN3SYS XT spade drill bodies, this insert features a 140-degree point angle and a Seat Size 24 designation, making it well suited for precision drilling applications where tool life and hole quality are critical. The AM300 PVD coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability, particularly when cutting stainless steel and other difficult-to-machine alloys. At a 1-inch diameter and 0.54-inch height, this insert is sized for medium-range boring operations in production machining environments. Installation is handled by machinists and tooling technicians.

This insert is intended for use in metalworking operations where stainless steel is the primary workpiece material, classified under workpiece material code M. The GEN3SYS XT platform targets applications that require consistent chip control, reduced thrust forces, and repeatable hole geometry across high-volume runs. Typical environments include CNC machining centers in aerospace, medical device, and general industrial manufacturing. The C2 (K20) carbide grade is selected for its balance of hardness and toughness in interrupted or continuous cuts through tough alloys.

Key Features

• 1-inch diameter with Seat Size 24 for GEN3SYS XT spade drill body compatibility
• 140-degree point angle for reduced thrust and improved self-centering on entry
• Solid carbide construction with C2 (K20) manufacturer grade for hardness and wear resistance
• AM300 PVD coating enhances tool life when cutting stainless steel and high-alloy materials
• Optimized for primary workpiece material code M (stainless steel)
• 0.54-inch insert height; lightweight at 0.029 pounds for easy handling and indexing

Compatibility

Designed for use with ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING GEN3SYS XT spade drill bodies accepting Seat Size 24 inserts. Primary workpiece material is stainless steel (material code M).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians on CNC machining centers or manual drill presses. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before seating or removing the insert. Use the correct torx or insert-clamping key specified by the drill body manufacturer to achieve proper seating without over-torquing. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation to ensure accurate positioning and prevent premature tool failure.
