Allied XTP18-19.45 Spade Drill Insert 49/64 in Carbide

Product Description

The ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING XTP18-19.45 is a carbide spade drill insert designed for high-performance drilling in steel workpieces. Part of the GEN3SYS XT Pro series, this fractional-inch insert features a 140-degree point angle and an AM420 PVD coating that extends edge life in demanding production environments. With a seat size of 18 and a 49/64 inch diameter, it drops into compatible spade drill bodies to deliver consistent hole geometry. Metalworking professionals and machining centers use this insert where precision, tool life, and throughput are all priorities.

This insert is suited for production drilling applications in steel, targeting primary workpiece material code P as defined by ISO cutting material classifications. The GEN3SYS XT Pro series is engineered for aggressive feed rates and reliable chip evacuation, making it a practical choice for CNC machining centers, drilling lines, and manual drill press setups where repeatability matters. It is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in industrial and manufacturing environments.
