Allied Machine 7C118P-0024 Spade Drill Insert 3/4 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C118P-0024 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in ferrous metals and hard materials. Carrying a 3/4 inch diameter and a 140-degree point angle, this insert fits Seat Size 18 holders in the GEN3SYS XT platform. The AM300 PVD coating improves wear resistance and helps maintain cutting edge integrity at elevated temperatures. Manufactured to C1 (K35) grade carbide, it delivers the hardness and toughness required for production drilling in steel and hard-material applications. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical professionals will not typically install this part — it is designed for machining environments where spade drill systems are used on CNC or manual drilling equipment.

This insert is suited for metalworking applications targeting primary workpiece materials classified as Steel and Hard Materials under ISO P and H material groups. The GEN3SYS XT series is engineered for high penetration rates and extended tool life in through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. Its compact geometry makes it appropriate for both production machining cells and job-shop drilling operations where consistent hole quality and tight diameter tolerances are required.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch diameter with Seat Size 18 for direct fit to GEN3SYS XT compatible holders
• 140-degree point angle suited for drilling steel and hard materials
• Solid carbide C1 (K35) grade construction for high hardness and wear resistance
• AM300 PVD coating for thermal protection and extended cutting edge life
• Optimized for ISO P (steel) and ISO H (hard material) workpiece classifications

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN3SYS XT series Seat Size 18 spade drill holders. Primary workpiece material compatibility is Steel and Hard Materials as defined by ISO material groups P and H.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before removing or seating the insert. Ensure the seat pocket is clean and free of chips before installing the new insert. Follow the tool holder manufacturer torque and clamping specifications for the appropriate seat size.
