Allied Machine & Engineering, a leading manufacturer of holemaking and finishing tooling systems, announces the release of their newest GEN3SYS XT Pro high penetration drill insert designed specifically for beam and plate production in the structural steel market. With an exclusive combination of substrate and multilayer coating, the replaceable insert is engineered to withstand the heat generated while drilling holes in structural steel beams or plates in high production facilities. Optimized in their existing structural steel drill bodies, Allied Machine’s high-tech structural steel insert improves chip formation and reduces vibrations creating a higher quality hole.

The unique composition of carbide grade, cutting edge geometry, and high-temp coating is designed to run at or beyond current O.E.M. (original equipment manufacturer) rates while offering extended tool life.  The insert’s simplified setup and extended tool life reduces changeover time and increases throughput in structural steel machining applications. “During beta testing, customers reported a significant reduction in noise as well as fewer signs of heat.” Explains Andrew Pisorn, product manager for Allied Machine’s GEN3SYS XT Pro product line. “We’ve optimized the design of this particular drill insert to give machine shops and manufacturers a competitive advantage in drilling holes in structural steel. From better run rates and fewer tool failures, the stability of this replaceable drill insert provides increased capacity and most importantly increased profit for the customer.”
