Allied Machine 60318S-100F Indexable Spade Drill

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 60318S-100F is an indexable spade drill designed for precision hole-making in a wide range of workpiece materials. Part of the GEN3SYS 18 series, it accepts spade drill inserts and operates with through-coolant delivery via a 1/8 inch NPT axial concentric coolant entry port. The tool body is constructed from steel and features a straight flute geometry with a 1 inch flatted cylindrical shank. It covers a drilling diameter range of 0.7087 to 0.7873 inches (18.00 to 19.99 mm) at a standard 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio. This drill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling specialists in production and job-shop environments.

The 60318S-100F is suited for general-purpose drilling applications across universal workpiece material categories including cast iron, steel, non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic materials (material codes K, M, N, P). Its standard-length body and straight flute design make it appropriate for vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, and CNC lathes with through-spindle coolant capability. The 3xD depth rating supports common through-hole and blind-hole operations in both production runs and low-volume precision work.

Key Features

• Drilling diameter range: 0.7087 to 0.7873 inches (18.00 to 19.99 mm)
• Maximum drill depth: 2-3/8 inches at a 3xD depth-to-diameter ratio
• Through coolant via 1/8 inch NPT axial concentric entry for chip evacuation and tool life
• 1 inch flatted cylindrical shank for positive drive and reduced pullout risk
• Straight flute geometry for general-purpose universal material compatibility
• GEN3SYS 18 series — compatible with the corresponding indexable insert system

Compatibility

Designed for use with the ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING GEN3SYS 18 series indexable spade drill insert system. Primary workpiece material compatibility covers universal categories: cast iron (K), stainless and heat-resistant alloys (M), non-ferrous metals (N), and carbon and alloy steels (P).

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle and coolant supply are fully de-energized and depressurized before mounting or changing inserts. Verify that the machine tool holder and spindle interface are clean and within tolerance before seating the flatted shank. Confirm through-coolant pressure and flow rate are compatible with the 1/8 inch NPT coolant entry before initiating a cut.
