Iscar 5504849 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.591 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5504849 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert designed for the IDI-SG series modular drilling system. Carrying the IC908 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cut conditions. It features a 0.591 inch cutting diameter, a 140-degree included point angle, and a thinned web geometry that reduces thrust force at entry. With a slow spiral flute design and SG insert geometry, it is suited for general-purpose drilling applications across a wide range of workpiece materials. Machinists and tooling specialists install this tip as a direct replacement within compatible IDI-SG series drill bodies.

This replaceable tip drill insert is engineered for production and job-shop environments where downtime for full tool replacement is not practical. It targets steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, S, and H. The twist-held, two-flute configuration seats securely into IDI-SG series bodies to maintain concentricity and runout control. It conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards, making it compatible with major CAM and tool management systems. This insert is sold individually and is packaged one per unit.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC908 submicron grade for extended edge life
• PVD TiAlN coating provides heat and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting speeds
• 140-degree thinned web point reduces entry thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Slow spiral, two-flute design maintains chip control in both short and moderate depth holes
• Covers five ISO material groups: P, M, K, S, and H
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for integration with CAM and tool management software

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip insert for ISCAR IDI-SG series modular drill bodies with a size 15 insert seat. Confirm body seat size and ISO number IDI 150-SG before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the drill body and insert seat are clean and free of chips or debris before seating the tip. Follow the drill body manufacturer torque guidelines for the clamping screw to avoid insert movement or seat damage. Do not exceed the recommended cutting parameters for the IC908 grade and TiAlN coating when programming feeds and speeds.
