Iscar 5506654 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.902in ICP0902

Product Description

The ISCAR 5506654 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert from the ICP series, designed for precision drilling in metalworking applications. The tip carries the IC908 grade designation, a submicron solid carbide grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. The cutting diameter is 0.902 inches with a 140-degree included angle and a thinned web point geometry. The honed cutting edge and slow spiral flute design reduce cutting forces and improve chip evacuation. This insert is suited for licensed machinists and CNC tooling technicians working in production environments.

The ICP0902 tip is engineered for drilling into steel as its primary workpiece material. Secondary material compatibility, as specified by the manufacturer, includes stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. Insert seat size is 22, and the ISO number is ICP 229. This tip is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers and drill presses where replaceable-tip drill systems are in use, offering a cost-effective alternative to full solid carbide drills in high-volume production runs.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 submicron grade for extended tool life in steel and difficult materials
• TiAlN PVD coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance during high-speed drilling
• 140-degree included angle with thinned web point reduces entry force and walking
• Honed cutting edge geometry for smooth chip formation and consistent hole quality
• Slow spiral flute type promotes controlled chip flow in deep-drilling applications
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for compatibility with digital tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip drill insert for ISCAR ICP series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 22, conforming to ISO number ICP 229. Verify seat size and series compatibility with the drill body before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable tip drill inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing any cutting inserts. Use the appropriate torx or wrench supplied by the toolholder manufacturer to seat the tip; do not over-torque or use improvised tools. Confirm full seating and engagement of the tip before resuming cutting operations.
