YG-1 SM28218 Spade Drill Insert Fractional Inch

Product Description

The YG-1 SM28218 is a spade drill insert designed for use with compatible spade drill bodies in metal-removal and hole-making operations. Spade drill inserts are the replaceable cutting tips that index into a reusable holder, allowing machinists and tooling professionals to restore cutting performance without replacing the entire drill assembly. This insert is manufactured in fractional inch sizing and weighs 0.06 pounds. It is suited for production drilling applications in shop environments where efficient, repeatable hole quality is required.

This insert is intended for use in industrial drilling setups where spade-style tooling is the specified method. Fractional inch sizing makes it applicable to standard imperial-spec drilling operations common in general machining, fabrication, and maintenance environments. It is typically installed by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, or maintenance technicians working with compatible spade drill holders.

Key Features

• Replaceable spade drill insert design reduces tooling cost by reusing the drill body
• Fractional inch sizing for compatibility with standard imperial drilling applications
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy handling and quick changeover
• Sold individually for precise inventory management

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement spade drill insert for use with compatible fractional inch spade drill bodies and holders. Verify holder compatibility against the insert size and seating geometry before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the drill body and machine spindle are fully powered down and secured before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and manufacturer-recommended fastener to secure the insert in the holder pocket. Inspect the insert seat for debris or damage before each installation to ensure proper seating and cutting performance.
