Allied Machine XTP29-29.00 Spade Drill Insert 29mm Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING XTP29-29.00 is a solid carbide spade drill insert engineered for precision hole-making in steel workpieces. Part of the GEN3SYS XT Pro series, this insert features a 140-degree point angle optimized for chip control and entry accuracy in ferrous materials. The AM420 PVD coating provides elevated wear resistance and thermal stability, extending tool life in high-production environments. At 29 mm diameter with a Seat Size 29 interface, it mounts directly into compatible GEN3SYS XT Pro spade drill bodies. Machining professionals and tooling specialists working in job shops, production facilities, and contract manufacturing operations rely on this insert for consistent, repeatable bore quality in steel applications.

The XTP29-29.00 is intended for use in steel machining applications classified under ISO material group P. Typical installations include CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and horizontal boring mills where deep-hole or through-hole drilling in mild steel, alloy steel, and structural steel is required. The GEN3SYS XT Pro platform is designed for high-penetration-rate drilling where solid carbide insert geometry and PVD coating work together to maintain edge integrity across extended run cycles. This insert is installed by machinists and tooling engineers in production and precision machining environments.

Key Features

• 29 mm cutting diameter with Seat Size 29 for direct body compatibility
• Solid carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance in steel cutting
• AM420 PVD coating enhances thermal resistance and reduces built-up edge in ferrous materials
• 140-degree point angle supports controlled entry and reduced thrust force
• GEN3SYS XT Pro series geometry engineered for high-penetration-rate drilling
• Primary workpiece material designation: Steel (ISO group P)

Compatibility

Designed for use with compatible GEN3SYS XT Pro series spade drill bodies accepting Seat Size 29 inserts. Intended for steel workpiece materials classified under ISO material group P. Consult ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING tooling documentation to confirm body and holder compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures before any insert change. Ensure the drill body seat is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the insert to avoid improper clamping and runout issues. Use the correct torque wrench and fastener specified by the drill body manufacturer - do not substitute hardware. Inspect the insert seating and clamp screw engagement before resuming cutting operations.
