Iscar 3302269 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill Hcp-iq

Product Description

The ISCAR 3302269 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill in the HCP-IQ series, designed for precision hole making in metalworking applications. The tip features a 26.19mm (1-1/32 inch) cutting diameter with a 136-degree self-centering drill point and a helical, web-thinned flute geometry that reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. The IC908 submicron carbide grade is PVD-coated with TiAlN for extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The clamp-style insert holding method provides secure, repeatable tip positioning without adhesives or press fits. Machinists and toolroom technicians working on CNC drilling operations will find this tip sized to the HCP-IQ insert seat size 26.

This replaceable tip is primarily suited for drilling steel and cast iron (ISO material codes P and K). Secondary applications include stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO codes M, S, and H). The self-centering point geometry supports accurate entry without a center drill in rigid setups. Typical use cases include production hole making, chamfering operations, and guided drilling cycles on machining centers and CNC lathes where consistent hole quality and rapid tip changeover are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 submicron grade for high wear resistance in steel and cast iron
• TiAlN PVD coating for heat resistance and extended cutting life
• 136-degree self-centering drill point reduces the need for spot drilling
• Web-thinned helical flute design lowers cutting forces and improves chip flow
• Replaceable tip design allows quick changeover without removing the drill body from the spindle
• Clamp-style retention for secure, repeatable tip seating

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip for HCP-IQ series drill bodies using insert seat size 26. ISO number reference HCP 262-IQ. Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power locked out per shop safety procedures. Use the appropriate torx or clamp key specified for the HCP-IQ body to seat the tip securely before resuming cuts. Do not overtighten the clamping screw or force a tip that does not seat flush, as this can damage the insert pocket. Verify coolant delivery and spindle speed and feed settings match the workpiece material before engaging the cut.
