Iscar 5504987 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.4216 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5504987 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the IDI-SG series, designed for precision hole-making in demanding machining applications. The cutting tip is manufactured from solid carbide with an IC908 submicron grade and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, delivering high wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. The drill features a 0.4216 inch (27/64 inch) cutting diameter, a 140-degree drill point angle, and a standard helical flute geometry with web thinning to reduce thrust force at entry. The tip mounts via a clamp-style insert holding method and conforms to ISO 13399 standards. This tool is used by machining professionals in production and job-shop environments.

The IDI-SG replaceable tip system is suited for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, S, and H. The 140-degree included angle and web-thinned point geometry make it appropriate for general drilling operations where consistent hole quality and tip repeatability across multiple setups are required. The insert seat size is 10, and the ISO number for this insert is IDI 107-SG. Typical applications include hole-making and drilling operations on CNC machining centers and drill presses used in metalworking production environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 submicron grade tip for extended tool life in difficult materials
• PVD TiAlN coating improves heat resistance and reduces built-up edge
• 140-degree drill point angle with web-thinned geometry reduces entry thrust
• Helical, regular spiral flute design with 2 flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Clamp-style tip retention for repeatable indexing without full tool replacement
• Conforms to ISO 13399 cutting tool data representation standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with IDI-SG series insert seat size 10 drill bodies. The replaceable tip corresponds to ISO number IDI 107-SG. Verify seat size and series designation on the drill body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable tip drills should be performed by qualified machinists following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque and seating procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in a vise or holder before tip removal or installation. Inspect the insert seat for debris or damage before seating the new tip, as contamination will affect runout and hole accuracy. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine lockout requirements before performing any tool change.
