Allied Machine 7C115P-0020 Spade Drill Insert 5/8 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C115P-0020 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in steel and hard materials. Built to GEN3SYS XT series standards, this insert features a 140-degree point angle that promotes accurate entry and reduces thrust load during drilling. The AM300 PVD coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding production environments. At 5/8 inch diameter with a Seat Size 15 designation, it seats precisely into compatible GEN3SYS XT spade drill holders. Installation and use are typical for machinists and tooling technicians running CNC or manual drilling operations.

This insert is suited for drilling operations in steel and hard workpiece materials, consistent with Primary Workpiece Material Codes P and H. The GEN3SYS XT series is designed for production drilling applications where tool life, repeatability, and chip control are priorities. Typical use cases include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in job shop and manufacturing environments. The C1 carbide grade (K35 equivalent) provides a balance of hardness and toughness appropriate for interrupted cuts and general-purpose steel drilling.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the holder is fully de-energized and the spindle is locked before seating or removing the insert. Confirm the insert is fully seated and the clamping screw is properly secured before beginning any drilling operation. Follow the tool manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and spindle speed for the specific workpiece material.
