Iscar 5506642 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.744in 140deg

Product Description

The ISCAR 5506642 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the ICP series, designed for high-performance drilling operations in demanding industrial machining environments. The cutting tip is manufactured from solid carbide in the IC908 submicron grade and features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. It carries a 140-degree included angle point with web thinning and a honed cutting edge, which reduces entry thrust and improves centering. With a cutting diameter of 0.744 inches and a functional length of 0.300 inches, this insert is sized for the ICP 189 seat in compatible drill bodies. Installation and tool changes are performed by machining professionals on CNC or manual drilling platforms.

This replaceable tip is suited for drilling primary workpiece materials classified as steel (ISO P). It is also rated for secondary workpiece materials including stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO M, K, S, H). The slow spiral, two-flute geometry makes it appropriate for a range of hole-making applications where chip control and surface finish are priorities. It conforms to ISO 13399 standards for cutting tool representation.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 submicron grade for wear resistance in ferrous and exotic materials
• TiAlN coating via PVD process for heat resistance and extended tool life
• 140-degree included angle with web-thinned, honed cutting edge for reduced thrust at entry
• Slow spiral, two-flute design for effective chip evacuation
• Fits ICP 189 insert seat for fast, repeatable tip replacement without body removal
• Compliant with ISO 13399 cutting tool data standards

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip insert for ICP series drill bodies accepting an ICP 189 seat size. Verify body compatibility against the seat size designation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drills in the ICP series are serviced by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and de-energize the spindle before seating or removing the tip. Use the manufacturer-specified torque driver or key for the twist-lock interface to ensure proper seating and concentricity. Do not exceed the recommended operating parameters for the host drill body.
