Ingersoll Cutting Tools 5506498 Replaceable Drill Tip 16mm

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 5506498 is a replaceable drill tip engineered for precision spot drilling in cast iron and similar hard materials. Built from solid carbide with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, this insert delivers consistent cutting performance and extended tool life in demanding machining environments. The 90-degree point angle and helical flute geometry support accurate positioning and chip evacuation. With a cutting diameter of 16.00 mm and an overall projection of 0.6300 inches, this tip fits into compatible indexable drill bodies using a clamp-style insert holding method. It is part of the YCB series and carries the IN2030 manufacturer grade designation.

This replaceable drill tip is designed for use in indexable drilling systems where cast iron workpieces are the primary application. The K-class material grade (K30/K50) targets gray cast iron, nodular cast iron, and similar ferrous materials commonly encountered in machining and production environments. The tip is suited for CNC machining centers and turning centers where spot drilling and entry-point accuracy are critical. Installation is performed by machining professionals and CNC operators working in metal fabrication and production shops. The standard point type and regular spiral configuration make it a straightforward drop-in for compatible YCB-series drill bodies.

• 90-degree point angle with standard point type for accurate spot drilling entry
• Helical flute geometry with 2 flutes and regular spiral for effective chip evacuation
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure, repeatable seating in compatible drill bodies
• 16.00 mm cutting diameter with 0.6300-inch overall projection length

Compatibility

Designed for use with YCB-series indexable drill bodies that accept NXXF62R04-style replaceable tips with clamp-style insert retention. Verify drill body compatibility with the ISO number NXXF62R04 IN2030 before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of this replaceable drill tip should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine fully powered down and spindle locked before handling the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the drill body manufacturer to seat the clamp; do not overtighten. Inspect the pocket and clamp for wear or debris before installing a new tip. Confirm that the drill body series and insert pocket geometry match the NXXF62R04 profile prior to use.
