Allied Machine 7C122P-22 Spade Drill Insert 22mm Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C122P-22 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in steel and hard materials. Built on the GEN3SYS XT platform, this insert features a 140-degree point angle and an AM300 PVD coating that extends tool life under demanding cutting conditions. At 22 mm diameter with a seat size 22, it mounts into compatible GEN3SYS XT spade drill holders. The C1 (K35) carbide grade delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for interrupted cuts and tight-tolerance bore work. Machinists and tool and die shops rely on this insert for consistent hole quality in production environments.

This insert is suited for CNC machining centers and drill press setups targeting ferrous metals, including steel and hard workpiece materials. The GEN3SYS XT series is engineered for productive metal removal rates while maintaining hole entry and exit quality. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in manufacturing, general machining, and toolroom operations where solid carbide construction is specified over indexable steel alternatives.

• 140-degree point angle optimized for controlled entry and minimal thrust force
• 22 mm cutting diameter with seat size 22 for direct fit into GEN3SYS XT holders
• Part of the GEN3SYS XT series, designed for high-productivity spade drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN3SYS XT series spade drill holders accepting seat size 22. Compatible with primary workpiece materials classified as Steel (P) and Hard Material (H) per ISO material group designations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is secured in a vise or fixture before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or insert-seating key specified by the holder manufacturer to torque the insert screw. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation to avoid seating errors that can affect runout and hole quality.
