Iscar 5502940 XOMT06DT IC328 Indexable Drill Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5502940 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in modular indexable drill systems. Carrying the XOMT insert style with an IC328 manufacturer grade and a DT chipbreaker geometry, this insert is PVD-coated for extended wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. The inscribed circle measures 0.2425 inches (6.16 mm), thickness is 0.1008 inches, and the corner radius is 0.0157 inches (0.40 mm). The square shape and 90-degree included angle make it a direct-fit replacement for DRDRILLS series tooling. Licensed machinists and CNC toolroom technicians are the primary installers.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material applications, covering ISO material codes M, P, and S — meaning it is suited for stainless steel, carbon and alloy steel, and high-temperature alloys. The IC328 grade with PVD coating is engineered for stable performance in both interrupted and continuous cutting conditions in production drilling operations. It is part of the ISCAR DRDRILLS series and conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards, making it compatible with digital tool management and presetting workflows common in modern CNC environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing inserts. Use the correct torx or clamping key specified for the drill body to achieve proper insert seating — do not overtighten by hand or with non-rated tools. Inspect the insert pocket for damage or debris before installing a new insert, as a contaminated seat will affect runout and drill performance.
