Allied 7C232P-0112AS Spade Drill Insert 1-3/8 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C232P-0112AS is a solid carbide spade drill insert engineered for high-performance hole-making in demanding materials. Part of the GEN3SYS XT series, this insert features a 140-degree point angle and an AM300 PVD coating, making it well-suited for cutting stainless steel and other difficult-to-machine alloys. At 1-3/8 inches in diameter and classified under Seat Size 32, it mounts directly into compatible GEN3SYS XT spade drill holders. The C2 (K20) carbide grade delivers a balance of hardness and toughness required for consistent performance in production drilling environments. Machinists and tooling professionals working in metal fabrication, aerospace, or industrial manufacturing will find this insert a reliable tooling solution.

This insert is designed for use in through-hole and blind-hole drilling applications where dimensional accuracy and tool life are critical. Its primary workpiece material rating targets stainless steel (Material Code M), though the AM300 PVD coating provides broad capability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Typical install scenarios include CNC machining centers, drill presses, and turning centers equipped with GEN3SYS XT series modular spade drill bodies. The 1-3/8 inches cutting diameter suits medium-to-large bore work in both job shop and high-volume production settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in C2 (K20) grade for hardness and wear resistance in tough alloys
• AM300 PVD coating classification provides thermal protection and extended tool life in stainless steel
• 140-degree point angle reduces thrust force and supports accurate hole entry
• Seat Size 32 interface ensures positive seating and repeatability in GEN3SYS XT holders
• 1-3/8 inches cutting diameter targets medium-to-large bore drilling applications
• GEN3SYS XT series design for modular, indexable tooling systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN3SYS XT series Seat Size 32 spade drill holders. Confirm holder seat size and series designation before installation to ensure proper fit and clamping engagement.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the holder manufacturer torque and clamp screw specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before indexing or replacing the insert. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris prior to mounting, as contamination can affect insert seating and hole accuracy. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tooling changes.
