Allied Machine 7C122P-0029 Spade Drill Insert 29/32 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C122P-0029 is a carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in steel and hard materials. Part of the GEN3SYS XT series, this insert features a 140-degree point angle and an AM300 PVD coating that extends tool life in demanding applications. The insert measures 29/32 inches in diameter with a seat size of 22 and a height of 0.51 inches. The C1 (K35) carbide grade provides the hardness and wear resistance required for production drilling in ferrous and hard workpiece materials. Machinists and tool-room professionals install this insert into compatible GEN3SYS XT spade drill holders for through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations.

This insert is suited for use in ferrous metals classified under material grades P (steel) and H (hard materials). It is applied in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and turning centers where consistent hole diameter and finish are required. The GEN3SYS XT series is engineered for high-feed, high-speed drilling in production environments including automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing. Seat size 22 determines holder compatibility within the GEN3SYS XT system.

Key Features

• 29/32 inch diameter with seat size 22 for precise holder fitment
• 140-degree point angle reduces thrust and improves chip formation in steel
• C1 (K35) carbide grade delivers hardness and edge retention in hard materials
• AM300 PVD coating extends wear life in ferrous and hard material applications
• GEN3SYS XT series design for high-feed production drilling
• Fractional inch measurement system for compatibility with standard tooling documentation

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN3SYS XT series spade drill holders accepting seat size 22 inserts. Primary workpiece materials are steel (P) and hard materials (H) per the supplier-stated material grade designations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians following machine tool lockout and energy isolation procedures before insert changes. Secure the insert firmly in the holder seat using the appropriate torque tool as specified by the holder manufacturer documentation. Inspect the seat and insert for chips or contamination before seating to prevent runout. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines during setup.
