Iscar 5506614 Indexable Drill Insert SOMT09DT IC9080

Product Description

The ISCAR 5506614 is a square indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable twist drills requiring reliable, repeatable cutting performance in demanding machining applications. Manufactured from solid carbide with a CVD coating and ISCAR grade IC9080, this insert delivers consistent tool life when cutting cast iron and steel workpieces. The insert follows the SOMT 09T306-DT geometry with a 90-degree included angle and a 0.60 mm (0.0236 inch) corner radius. It belongs to ISCAR's DR-TWIST series and conforms to ISO 13399 standards, making it straightforward to integrate into tool management and CAM systems. Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians on CNC or manual drilling platforms.

This insert is intended for use in indexable drill bodies compatible with the SOMT 09T306-DT seat geometry within the DR-TWIST series. Primary workpiece materials are cast iron (ISO material code K) and steel (ISO material code P), making it well suited for general metalworking, production machining, and job-shop drilling operations. The DT chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip evacuation in these material groups. This insert is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or clamping key specified by the drill body manufacturer to achieve proper seating torque — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the pocket seat for wear or debris before installing a new insert to ensure full contact and runout accuracy.
