Iscar 5504897 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.5004 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5504897 is a carbide replaceable tip drill from the IDI-SG series, designed for high-performance hole making in demanding machining environments. The drill features a solid carbide tip with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering hardness and heat resistance suited for production drilling. The cutting diameter measures 0.5004 inches (12.71 mm) with a 140-degree drill point angle and a two-flute helical configuration. The tip is held in place by a clamp-style insert seat (size 12) and is web thinned for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust force. Licensed machinists and CNC tool-room technicians are the primary installers of this tooling.

The IDI-SG series tip is engineered for drilling into a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO material codes P, M, K, S, and H). It is suited for production drilling applications in aerospace, general machining, and heavy manufacturing environments where consistent hole quality and tool life are required. The standard point style and regular spiral flute geometry make it a reliable choice for through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations on CNC machining centers and drill presses.

Key Features

• Solid carbide submicron-grade tip (IC908) with PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat and wear resistance
• 140-degree drill point angle with web-thinned geometry for reduced entry thrust
• Two-flute helical design promotes efficient chip evacuation in ferrous and hard materials
• Clamp-style insert holding on size 12 seat allows fast tip replacement without regrinding
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for system compatibility
• Cutting diameter of 0.5004 inches (12.71 mm) with 3.00 mm flute length

Compatibility

The 5504897 replaceable tip is part of the ISCAR IDI-SG series and is designed to fit IDI-SG series drill bodies with a size 12 insert seat. ISO number IDI 127-SG identifies the tip geometry within the series. Verify insert seat size and series designation on the drill body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drills are installed and serviced by qualified machinists or CNC toolroom technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine tool before exchanging the drill tip. Use the appropriate torx or clamping key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert to avoid over-torquing the clamp. Inspect the insert seat for debris or wear before each tip installation to maintain runout accuracy.
