YG-1 S06006 Spade Drill Insert Fractional Inch

Product Description

The YG-1 S06006 is a spade drill insert designed for use with compatible spade drill holders in metal cutting and hole-making operations. Spade drill inserts serve as the replaceable cutting tip in modular spade drill systems, allowing the holder to be reused while only the worn cutting edge is swapped out. This insert is sized in the fractional inch system, making it suited for standard inch-based tooling setups common in North American machining environments. Installation requires no special tools beyond what is standard in a typical machine shop, and the design keeps tooling costs down by limiting replacement to the insert alone.

Spade drill inserts like the S06006 are used across general machining, fabrication, and production drilling applications. They are commonly installed in CNC machining centers, lathes with live tooling, and manual drill presses where modular spade drill systems are in use. This insert is appropriate for shops working with fractional inch hole sizes and using YG-1 compatible spade drill holders. Typical end users include machinists, toolroom technicians, and metalworking professionals in job shops and production facilities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with modular spade drill systems. Always ensure the machine is powered down and the spindle is fully stopped before changing the insert. Secure the insert firmly in the holder according to the holder manufacturer's torque and seating guidelines. Inspect the holder seat for debris or damage before installing a new insert.
