Iscar 5503823 Indexable Drill Insert WOLH3-1GF IC328

Product Description

The ISCAR 5503823 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable drilling systems. It carries the WOLH3-1GF designation, combining the WOLH insert style with a GF chipbreaker geometry and the IC328 manufacturer grade coating applied via PVD process. The insert features a 10 mm inscribed circle (0.3937 inches), an 80-degree trigon shape, and a 0.40 mm (0.0157 inch) corner radius. At 0.1500 inches thick, this insert is engineered for consistent chip control and wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. It is typically installed by machinists and tooling technicians working in production or job shop environments.

This insert is suited for universal workpiece material applications, covering material grade classifications C2, C3, C5, and C6, with primary workpiece material codes M, P, and S. That coverage includes carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, and high-temperature alloys. It belongs to the DZDRILLS series and conforms to ISO 13399 standards, making it compatible with tooling data management systems that reference that specification. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations on CNC machining centers and lathes equipped with indexable drill bodies accepting size 3-1 inserts.

Key Features

• IC328 PVD-coated solid carbide grade for extended tool life across multiple material groups
• GF chipbreaker geometry for reliable chip formation and evacuation
• 80-degree trigon shape with 0.40 mm corner radius for controlled cutting action
• Universal material compatibility covering steel, stainless, and superalloy workpieces
• ISO 13399 compliant for integration with standardized tooling data systems
• Insert size code 3-1 for direct fitment into compatible DZDRILLS series drill bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR DZDRILLS series indexable drill bodies accepting size 3-1 inserts with WOLH insert style geometry.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered down and all spindle motion fully stopped. Use the correct torx or hex key specified by the drill body manufacturer when seating the insert to the clamping pocket. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before installing a new insert. Never operate the drill body with a loose or improperly seated insert.
