YG-1 S06117 Spade Drill Insert

Product Description

The YG-1 S06117 is a spade drill insert designed for use with compatible spade drill bodies in metal removal and hole-making operations. Spade drill inserts serve as the cutting element, replacing the consumable tip without requiring full tool replacement. This design reduces tooling cost and downtime on production floor and job-site drilling applications. The insert is sold individually and is intended for installation by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and maintenance technicians working with spade drill systems.

Spade drill inserts are used in a range of drilling applications including through-hole and blind-hole operations in metals such as steel, cast iron, and aluminum. The S06117 fits into a corresponding spade drill holder and is secured mechanically for positive clamping during cutting. Typical applications include production machining, maintenance drilling, and fabrication environments where indexable tooling is preferred for efficiency and cost control.

Key Features

• Replaceable cutting insert design reduces tooling cost compared to solid drills

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and power is disconnected from the machine before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the drill holder to secure the insert clamp screw. Follow the tool holder manufacturer guidelines for proper seating and clamping torque range.
