Iscar 5505067 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.543 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5505067 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert in the IDI-SG series, designed for high-performance drilling in demanding materials. Manufactured to grade IC908 with a submicron carbide substrate, this insert uses a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for thermal resistance and extended tool life. The tip features a 140-degree included angle with a thinned web point geometry and a slow spiral flute configuration, resulting in efficient chip evacuation and reduced entry force. It is installed by licensed machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments where consistent hole quality and repeatable tool changes are required.

This replaceable tip drill insert fits IDI-SG series drill bodies with an insert seat size of 13. The 5505067 is rated for use in steel (ISO P), stainless steel (ISO M), cast iron (ISO K), superalloys and titanium (ISO S), and hard materials (ISO H). The cutting diameter is 0.543 inches with a functional length of 0.137 inches and an overall projection height of 0.236 inches. It complies with ISO 13399 tooling data standards. Suitable for general-purpose drilling applications in both horizontal and vertical machining centers.

Key Features

• IC908 grade submicron solid carbide construction for toughness in difficult-to-machine materials
• PVD TiAlN coating improves heat resistance and reduces built-up edge in steel and stainless applications
• 140-degree thinned web point reduces thrust force and improves hole entry accuracy
• Slow spiral, 2-flute design promotes controlled chip flow in deep-hole and interrupted-cut conditions
• Replaceable tip system allows drill body reuse while maintaining consistent diameter and geometry
• ISO 13399 compliant for use with CAM and tooling management software

Compatibility

Designed for use with IDI-SG series replaceable tip drill bodies requiring insert seat size 13. ISO number IDI 138-SG. Verify insert seat size and series designation on the drill body before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machining technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the replaceable tip. Use the manufacturer-specified torque tool or key for the twist-lock holding method to ensure full tip engagement and runout control. Do not force or impact the insert during installation, as this can damage the seating surface on the drill body.
