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

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C224P-0100CI is a solid carbide spade drill insert engineered for high-performance drilling in cast iron and similar hard ferrous materials. This insert measures 1 inch in diameter and seats into a Size 24 spade drill body. The 140-degree point angle promotes aggressive material penetration and chip control, while the AM300 PVD coating adds surface hardness and heat resistance for extended tool life. At a manufacturer grade of C2 (K20), this insert is matched to interrupted-cut and cast iron drilling demands common in production machining and job-shop environments.

This insert is designed for use with GEN3SYS XT series spade drill bodies and is suited for machining cast iron workpieces — designated under the K-class workpiece material code. Typical applications include production drilling in CNC machining centers and manual mills where a replaceable insert spade drill system reduces tooling cost compared to solid twist drills. The insert weighs 0.029 pounds and ships individually with a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• 1 inch cutting diameter with Seat Size 24 compatibility for GEN3SYS XT spade drill bodies
• Solid carbide construction at C2 (K20) grade for hardness and wear resistance in cast iron
• 140-degree point angle for controlled entry and reduced thrust in hard ferrous materials
• AM300 PVD coating provides thermal resistance and extended edge life at elevated cutting speeds
• Lightweight at 0.029 pounds — fast to index and replace without removing the holder from the spindle

Compatibility

Designed for use with ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING GEN3SYS XT series spade drill bodies, Seat Size 24. Optimized for primary workpiece material: Cast Iron (K-class).

Installation Notes

Spade drill inserts of this type are installed and indexed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Use the manufacturer-specified insert screw and torx key to secure the insert in the drill body — do not use substitute fasteners. Confirm the insert is fully seated and the retaining screw is snug before resuming operations.
