Allied Machine 10244-0210 Spade Drill Insert 2-5/16 in Seat D

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 10244-0210 is a spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in metal cutting applications. This insert measures 2-5/16 inches in diameter and features a 130-degree point angle, which supports efficient chip formation and accurate hole entry. Constructed from CPM-M4 powdered metal, it delivers the wear resistance and edge toughness required for demanding production environments. The uncoated finish makes it well suited for applications where lubrication or coolant is already part of the process. Licensed machinists and tool room professionals install this insert into compatible spade drill holders as a direct replacement or fresh tooling build.

This spade drill insert fits Seat Size D holders and is intended for drilling into steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals, covering ISO material codes P, N, and K. It is commonly used in production machining environments including CNC turning centers, radial arm drills, and vertical machining centers where large-diameter holes are required without the weight and cost of a solid twist drill. The 2-3/8 inch height and 0.375 inch thickness are consistent with standard D-seat geometry, supporting rigid setup and repeatable performance across high-volume runs.

Key Features

• 2-5/16 inch diameter for large-bore drilling without solid drill tooling
• 130-degree point angle promotes clean entry and reduces thrust in steel and cast iron
• CPM-M4 powdered metal construction provides high wear resistance and edge toughness
• Seat Size D geometry for compatibility with standard D-seat spade drill holders
• Uncoated finish suitable for wet machining and coolant-fed applications
• Rated for steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metal workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use with Seat Size D spade drill holders. Compatible primary workpiece materials include steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals (ISO codes P, N, and K). No additional specific holder or machine model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the spade drill insert from the holder. Use the appropriate insert seating torque specified by the holder manufacturer and inspect the seat and insert locating surfaces for chips or debris before assembly. Follow applicable shop safety and machine guarding standards during setup and operation.
