Iscar 5506646 ICP0787 IC908 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill

Product Description

The ISCAR 5506646 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert designated ICP0787, manufactured to IC908 grade using a submicron solid carbide substrate. It carries a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting environments. The insert features a 140-degree included angle, a slow spiral flute configuration, a honed cutting edge style, and a web-thinned point to reduce thrust forces at entry. Designed for through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations, this tip is installed by licensed machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments. It conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards.

This replaceable tip is engineered primarily for drilling steel and is also rated for use in stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. It fits the ICP Series drill body system and is suited for CNC machining centers and drill presses running production drilling cycles where fast tip changeover and consistent hole quality are required. The insert seat size is 20, and the ISO number is ICP 200. Typical applications include structural steel fabrication, aerospace component drilling, and general metalworking where multiple workpiece materials are encountered.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron solid carbide grade for toughness and wear resistance in interrupted and continuous cuts
• PVD TiAlN coating provides thermal barrier and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting speeds
• 140-degree included angle with web-thinned point reduces entry thrust and improves centering
• Slow spiral flute geometry supports controlled chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling
• Honed cutting edge style minimizes chipping on entry in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• ISO 13399 compliant for direct integration with CAM tooling libraries

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip for ISCAR ICP Series drill bodies with insert seat size 20, ISO number ICP 200. Compatible workpiece materials include steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), super-alloys and titanium (S), and hard materials (H) per ISO material classification codes.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and removed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians using the appropriate torque driver specified by the ICP Series tool body — consult the ISCAR tool body documentation for the correct seating procedure. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Ensure the insert seat is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the new tip. Do not exceed the cutting parameters specified in the ISCAR ICP Series application guide for the selected workpiece material.
