Allied Machine 7C222P-0030CI Spade Drill Insert 15/16 in

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C222P-0030CI is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in cast iron workpieces. It features a 140-degree point angle and carries an AM300 PVD coating, which extends wear resistance in demanding machining environments. With a seat size of 22, this insert mounts into compatible GEN3SYS XT spade drill holders. The C2 (K20) carbide grade is well-suited to the abrasive characteristics of cast iron, providing controlled chip formation and consistent hole geometry. Machinists and tooling technicians working in production or job-shop settings install this insert as a replaceable cutting element, keeping tooling costs manageable without sacrificing performance.

This insert is intended for use in cast iron applications, designated by workpiece material code K. It fits within the GEN3SYS XT series platform from Allied Machine and Engineering, a system built around indexable spade drill bodies. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations on gray iron, ductile iron, and similar ferrous materials in CNC machining centers or drill presses running appropriate feeds and speeds for carbide tooling in cast iron.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in C2 (K20) grade for abrasion resistance in cast iron
• AM300 PVD coating for extended tool life and reduced flank wear
• 140-degree point angle for efficient chip formation and reduced thrust
• 15/16-inch diameter with seat size 22 for indexed mounting in GEN3SYS XT holders
• Replaceable insert design reduces per-hole tooling cost versus brazed or solid drills

Compatibility

Designed for use with Allied Machine and Engineering GEN3SYS XT series spade drill holders accepting seat size 22 inserts. Primary workpiece material is cast iron (material code K).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the insert. Ensure the insert pocket and seating surfaces are clean and free of chips or debris before securing the insert to the holder body. Follow the tool manufacturer torque specifications for the insert clamping screw and verify runout before initiating a cut.
