Iscar 5505224 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.760in Idi-sg

Product Description

The ISCAR 5505224 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert designed for high-productivity hole-making in demanding machining applications. Built to the IDI-SG series platform, this insert features a solid carbide construction with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering hardness and thermal resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials. The 140-degree included drill point angle with a thinned web reduces cutting forces at entry and improves chip evacuation. At 0.760 inches in cutting diameter and 0.335 inches in height, this replaceable tip is suited for shops running high-volume drilling operations who need consistent, repeatable performance without the cost of solid-shank drills.

The 5505224 insert is intended for use in ISCAR IDI-SG series replaceable tip drill bodies. It is rated for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, S, and H. The slow spiral flute geometry and two-flute configuration support stable chip flow in through-holes and controlled-depth applications. This insert is a general-purpose geometry suited to CNC machining centers in both job shop and production environments where tool change time and insert cost per hole are key metrics.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC908 manufacturer grade for wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• TiAlN PVD coating provides thermal barrier and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting temperatures
• 140-degree included point angle with thinned web reduces thrust force and improves centering
• Slow spiral, two-flute design promotes controlled chip evacuation in a wide range of workpiece materials
• Replaceable tip design reduces tooling cost compared to full solid-carbide drills
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tool data standards for integration with tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR IDI-SG series replaceable tip drill bodies accepting insert seat size 19. ISO number reference: IDI 193-SG. Verify body and seat size compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of replaceable tip drill inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered off and spindle locked. Use the appropriate ISCAR torque key or tool as specified by the drill body manufacturer to seat the insert correctly — do not use improvised tools. Inspect the insert seat and body bore for chips or damage before installing a new tip. Coolant-through capability is not supported on this insert.
