Allied Machine 7C111P-11.5 Spade Drill Insert 11.5mm Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C111P-11.5 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in steel and hard materials. Part of the GEN3SYS XT series, this insert features an AM300 PVD coating and a 140-degree point angle, making it well suited for demanding production drilling applications. With a 11.5 mm (29/64 inch) cutting diameter and a Seat Size 11 designation, it mounts into compatible GEN3SYS XT spade drill holders. The insert carries a C1 (K35) manufacturer grade, indicating a fine-grain carbide substrate optimized for toughness and wear resistance in ferrous and hard workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this insert.

This insert is intended for use in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and turning centers where spade drilling of steel and hard materials is required. The GEN3SYS XT series is designed for production environments that demand consistent hole quality and extended tool life in ferrous workpiece materials. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in carbon steel, alloy steel, and similarly classified hard materials. The insert measures 0.28 inches in height and is packaged individually for single-unit replacement or tooling inventory management.
