Iscar 5505095 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.378 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5505095 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert from the IDI-SG series, designed for high-performance hole-making in demanding metalworking applications. The insert features a solid carbide construction with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, providing excellent wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. With a 0.378-inch cutting diameter, a 140-degree drill point angle, and a two-flute slow spiral geometry, the 5505095 delivers controlled chip evacuation and stable entry. The IC908 grade submicron carbide substrate is engineered for demanding ISO material groups. This insert is installed and replaced by machining professionals in production and job shop environments.

This replaceable tip drill insert is suited for drilling operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO material classifications P, M, K, S, and H. It is intended for use in IDI-SG series drill bodies with an insert seat size of 9. The general-purpose style makes it applicable across a range of workpiece materials in both roughing and precision drilling contexts. The web-thinned point geometry reduces thrust force at entry and improves centering performance.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 submicron grade substrate for extended tool life in tough materials
• PVD TiAlN coating provides thermal and wear resistance across multiple ISO material groups
• 140-degree drill point angle with web-thinned, thinned point geometry reduces entry thrust
• Slow spiral two-flute design supports controlled chip flow during drilling
• Twist insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in compatible IDI-SG drill bodies
• Complies with ISO 13399 cutting tool data representation standard

Compatibility

Designed for use with IDI-SG series replaceable tip drill bodies requiring insert seat size 9, per ISO number IDI 096-SG. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO groups P, M, K, S, H).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. The drill body and spindle must be fully stopped and the machine must be in a safe, locked-out state before inserting or replacing the tip. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or insert key to seat the tip at the correct clamping torque; do not use substitutes that may damage the seating geometry. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before each installation to ensure accurate tip positioning and runout.
