Allied Machine 7C229P-0106 Spade Drill Insert 1-3/16 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING 7C229P-0106 is a solid carbide spade drill insert engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding machining applications. This insert measures 1-3/16 inches in diameter with a 140-degree point angle and carries a seat size of 29, placing it in the GEN3SYS XT series. The insert is coated with an AM300 PVD coating and manufactured to a C2 (K20) material grade, providing the wear resistance and thermal stability required when cutting stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It is installed by machinists and tooling specialists working in precision drilling operations.

This insert is suited for use in high-feed spade drilling applications across both production and job-shop environments. Its GEN3SYS XT series designation indicates compatibility with the corresponding Allied Machine holder platform. Primary workpiece materials include stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium, making it a versatile option for aerospace, energy, and general metalworking operations that require consistent hole quality and extended tool life in difficult-to-machine materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction at C2 (K20) material grade for hardness and wear resistance in abrasive workpiece materials
• AM300 PVD coating classification provides thermal protection and reduces built-up edge in stainless steel and titanium
• 140-degree point angle reduces thrust force and improves chip formation during entry
• 1-3/16 inch diameter with seat size 29 for use in the GEN3SYS XT holder system
• Fractional inch measurement system for straightforward sizing and replacement in inch-based tooling setups
• Single-insert package quantity supports per-edge replacement without overstocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with GEN3SYS XT series spade drill holders from Allied Machine and Engineering that accept a seat size 29 insert. Verified compatible workpiece materials include stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a locked-out, de-energized state. Seat and insert mating surfaces should be clean and free of chips or debris before seating the insert, as contamination can cause improper seating and premature insert failure. Consult the Allied Machine GEN3SYS XT tooling documentation for recommended torque procedures and holder inspection intervals. Follow all applicable shop safety and machine guarding standards during tooling changeouts.
