Allied Machine XTP22-22.23 Spade Drill Insert 7/8 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING XTP22-22.23 is a solid carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in steel workpieces. Part of the GEN3SYS XT Pro series, this insert features a 140-degree point angle and a 7/8-inch cutting diameter, making it suitable for deep-hole drilling operations that demand precise geometry and durable cutting edges. The AM420 PVD coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding production environments. This insert seats into a Seat Size 22 spade drill holder and is installed by machinists and tool-room technicians running CNC or manual drilling operations on steel components.

The XTP22-22.23 is intended for drilling steel workpieces, including low- to medium-alloy steels classified under ISO P workpiece material code. It fits Seat Size 22 holders within the GEN3SYS XT Pro system, making it a direct replacement insert for shops already running that tooling platform. Typical applications include production drilling in aerospace, oil and gas, and general machining environments where hole quality and tool life per insert are critical performance metrics.

Key Features

• 7/8-inch cutting diameter with Seat Size 22 holder compatibility
• Solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance in steel drilling
• 140-degree point angle reduces thrust and improves chip formation
• AM420 PVD coating extends cutting life in ISO P steel applications
• Part of the GEN3SYS XT Pro series for consistent insert-to-holder fit

Compatibility

Designed for use with Seat Size 22 spade drill holders in the GEN3SYS XT Pro tooling system. Optimized for primary use in steel workpieces under ISO P material classification.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by machinists or tooling technicians. Always disengage the machine spindle and lock out power before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or insert-seating key specified by the holder manufacturer to secure the insert without overtightening. Inspect the holder seat for wear or debris before installing a new insert to ensure proper seating and runout.
