Allied Machine 7C129P-30 Spade Drill Insert 30mm Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C129P-30 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance through-hole and blind-hole drilling in steel and hard materials. It seats into compatible GEN3SYS XT spade drill bodies and is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals in production and job-shop environments. The insert carries a 30 mm cutting diameter, a 140-degree point angle for self-centering entry, and an AM300 PVD coating that extends tool life when cutting ferrous and hard workpiece materials. The C1 (K35) carbide grade balances toughness and wear resistance for demanding drilling applications.

This insert is suited for CNC machining centers, lathes with live tooling, and drill presses operating in steel and hard-material applications. It fits within the GEN3SYS XT platform, which is a modular spade drilling system used across general manufacturing, aerospace component work, and heavy equipment machining. Typical installations involve production runs where consistent hole geometry, controlled chip evacuation, and repeatable sizing are required. The 30 mm diameter and Seat Size 29 designation must be matched precisely to the correct GEN3SYS XT holder body before use.

Key Features

• 30 mm cutting diameter with Seat Size 29 for GEN3SYS XT holder compatibility
• 140-degree point angle promotes self-centering and reduces thrust load at entry
• Solid carbide construction in C1 (K35) grade for toughness in hard and ferrous materials
• AM300 PVD coating provides heat and wear resistance in steel and hard-material cutting
• Primary workpiece material codes P and H cover steel and hard materials per ISO classification
• Indexable insert design allows blade replacement without removing the holder from the machine

Compatibility

Designed for use with ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING GEN3SYS XT spade drill holder bodies requiring a Seat Size 29 insert. Verify holder seat size and diameter range before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Ensure the holder pocket and insert seating surfaces are clean and free of chips or burrs before torquing the insert screw to the holder manufacturer's specification. Confirm correct coolant flow direction and pressure settings for the GEN3SYS XT holder before beginning the drilling cycle.
