Iscar 5505073 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.626 in Idi-sg

Product Description

The ISCAR 5505073 is a carbide replaceable tip drill from the IDI-SG series, designed for high-performance hole making in demanding production environments. The drill tip carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process and is manufactured from submicron solid carbide in the IC908 grade. It features a 140-degree point angle with a standard point type and a web-thinned geometry that reduces entry forces. The cutting diameter is 0.626 inches (16.00 mm) and the functional length is 0.1777 inches. With a 2-flute helical configuration and regular spiral, this tip is suited for consistent chip evacuation in a range of workpiece materials.

This drill tip is intended for use in machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO material codes P, M, K, S, and H. It fits the IDI-SG insert seat size 15 platform and is held in place via a clamp-style insert holding method. Typical applications include production drilling and hole-making operations on CNC machining centers and turning centers in industrial and job shop settings. The tip does not include coolant-through capability, making it appropriate for external coolant or dry cutting setups where the machine configuration does not support through-spindle coolant.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide IC908 grade for toughness and wear resistance in multi-material applications
• TiAlN PVD coating for elevated-temperature performance when machining steel and hard materials
• 140-degree point angle with web-thinned geometry to reduce thrust and improve entry accuracy
• 2-flute helical design with regular spiral for consistent chip flow
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure, repeatable tip seating
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with IDI-SG series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 15, conforming to ISO number IDI 159-SG. Compatible with workpiece materials classified under ISO codes P (steel), M (stainless steel), K (cast iron), S (superalloys and titanium), and H (hard materials).

Installation Notes

Installation and tip changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully stopped and locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the insert seat is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the tip, as contamination can cause run-out and premature tip failure. Torque the clamp fastener according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications for seat size 15. Do not exceed the recommended cutting parameters for the IC908 grade in the workpiece material being machined.
