Allied Machine 4C10P-0022 Spade Drill Insert 11/16 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 4C10P-0022 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling operations in steel and hard materials. Built to Seat Size 0 and machined to a 132-degree point angle, this insert fits into the GEN2 T-A spade drill holder system. The insert carries an AM300 PVD coating classified under the C1 (K35) material grade, which helps extend tool life when cutting ferrous and hardened workpiece materials. At 0.125 inches thick and 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, precision-ground cutting element intended for production machining environments where insert replacement frequency and repeatability matter.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in steel and hard materials in industrial machining applications. The GEN2 T-A system is a common choice in production shops running CNC lathes, machining centers, and drill presses where modular spade drilling tooling is standard. The AM300 PVD coating provides thermal and wear resistance during interrupted cuts and continuous drilling in ferrous stock. Machinists and tooling specialists working in general manufacturing, job shops, and heavy industry are the primary users of this insert type.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with C1 (K35) material grade for rigidity and wear resistance
• AM300 PVD coating classification for extended tool life in steel and hard material applications
• 132-degree point angle for efficient chip formation and entry in ferrous workpieces
• Seat Size 0 for direct compatibility with GEN2 T-A spade drill holder bodies
• 0.125 inch insert thickness provides a low-profile, precise seating fit
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, minimizing rotational imbalance in high-speed applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN2 T-A series spade drill holder bodies requiring a Seat Size 0 insert. Confirm holder seat size and series designation before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered down and all energy sources locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the holder seat is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the insert. Use the torque wrench and insert screw specified by the holder manufacturer — do not substitute fasteners or exceed the recommended clamp force. Inspect the seating surface and clamping screw threads for wear each time an insert is changed.
