Allied Machine 7C211P-0014AS Spade Drill Insert 7/16 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C211P-0014AS is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding machining applications. Measuring 7/16 inch in diameter with a 140-degree point angle, this insert seats into a size 11 holder and features an AM300 PVD coating rated for the GEN3SYS XT series. The AM300 coating provides enhanced wear resistance and heat management, making this insert well suited for cutting stainless steel and other hard-to-machine alloys. The insert height is 0.28 inches. Machinists and tooling technicians working in production or job-shop environments will find this insert a direct fit for GEN3SYS XT spade drill bodies.

This insert is intended for use in CNC machining centers, lathes, and drilling machines where consistent hole geometry and tight tolerances are required. The primary target workpiece material is stainless steel, classified under material grade M (ISO) and C2 (K20). The GEN3SYS XT platform is a modular spade drilling system, allowing the insert to be swapped without removing the holder from the spindle. This makes it practical for high-volume production runs where insert changeover speed matters. Typical users include CNC machinists, tooling engineers, and maintenance technicians in aerospace, medical device, and general metalworking shops.

Key Features

• 7/16 inch diameter with 140-degree point angle for aggressive chip formation and accurate hole entry
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• AM300 PVD coating enhances tool life when cutting stainless steel and other M-grade workpiece materials
• Seat size 11 fits GEN3SYS XT modular spade drill holders for fast insert indexing
• Manufacturer grade C2 (K20) carbide substrate balances hardness and toughness for interrupted and continuous cuts
• Insert height of 0.28 inches ensures proper seating depth and cutting geometry within the holder

Compatibility

Designed for use with ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING GEN3SYS XT series spade drill holders accepting a size 11 seat. No additional compatible model numbers were specified in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the spindle fully stopped and machine locked out per shop lockout/tagout procedures. Seat surfaces on the holder should be cleaned and inspected for chips or debris before seating the insert. Use only the manufacturer-recommended torque tool and fastener for the GEN3SYS XT system to avoid cracking the carbide or distorting the seat. Do not attempt to regrind or re-coat this insert in the field.
