Iscar 5506650 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.846 in IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5506650 is a carbide replaceable tip drill from the ICP series, designed for high-productivity hole-making in metalworking applications. The insert tip carries the IC908 manufacturer grade, a submicron solid carbide grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating that improves wear resistance and heat tolerance at the cutting edge. The drill features a 140-degree included angle with a thinned web point and a honed cutting edge geometry, reducing thrust forces and improving centering accuracy. At 0.846 inches cutting diameter with a functional length of 0.351 inches, this tip is paired with a compatible ICP shank body. Installation and use require machining center or CNC lathe setup by a qualified machinist.

The ICP0846 tip is intended for drilling operations in steel as its primary workpiece material, with secondary capability across stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The two-flute slow spiral design and P-geometry insert are suited to consistent chip evacuation in through and blind-hole drilling on machining centers where replaceable-tip tooling reduces setup changeover time compared to solid drill replacement. The IC908 grade and TiAlN finish extend tool life in production environments running ferrous and difficult-to-machine alloys.

Key Features

• 140-degree included drill point angle with web-thinned, honed cutting edge for reduced thrust
• Slow spiral, two-flute design promotes chip evacuation in steel and stainless applications
• Replaceable tip design minimizes downtime versus full solid drill replacement
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAD and tool management integration
• ISO number ICP 215, insert seat size 21, P-geometry insert style

Compatibility

Designed for use with compatible ICP series replaceable-tip drill bodies accepting an insert seat size 21. Confirm shank body compatibility with the ICP series and seat size before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per facility safety procedures. Use the correct torque wrench and manufacturer-specified key for the twist-lock insert holding method to secure the tip properly. Verify runout and seating after installation before initiating a cutting cycle. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine tool manufacturer guidelines for replaceable-tip tooling systems.
