Iscar 5506671 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 1.122 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5506671 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill from the ICP series, designed for high-productivity hole-making in metal-cutting applications. It carries the IC908 manufacturer grade, a submicron carbide substrate with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. The drill features a 140-degree included angle with a thinned point and slow spiral flutes, providing controlled chip evacuation and stable entry. The cutting diameter is 1.122 inches, with a functional length of 0.468 inches and an overall height of 0.669 inches. The honed cutting edge geometry helps maintain edge integrity during interrupted cuts and high-feed passes. Installation and replacement are handled by CNC machinists and toolroom technicians in production environments.

This replaceable tip drill is intended for drilling operations in steel as its primary workpiece material. Secondary material compatibility includes stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering a broad range of production machining scenarios. It conforms to ISO 13399 standards, making it compatible with tool management and presetting systems that use standardized tooling data. The ICP series uses a twist-style insert holding method, allowing tip changeout without removing the drill body from the spindle in many setups. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling on CNC machining centers and lathes with live tooling.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron carbide grade with PVD-applied TiAlN coating for wear resistance in steel and stainless
• 140-degree thinned point angle reduces thrust force and improves self-centering on entry
• Slow spiral flute design promotes controlled chip flow in deep-hole and interrupted-cut conditions
• Honed cutting edge style provides added edge stability and reduces micro-chipping
• ISO 13399 compliant for integration with digital tool management and presetting systems
• Replaceable tip design allows tip changeout without disturbing the drill body setup

Compatibility

The 5506671 tip is sized for ICP series insert seat size 28 (ISO Number ICP 285) and is intended for use with compatible ISCAR ICP series drill bodies accepting that seat designation. Confirm seat size and body compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drills of this type are installed and serviced by CNC machinists or toolroom personnel. Before changing the tip, confirm the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state. Use the manufacturer-specified torx or pin wrench for the twist-lock retention system to avoid damaging the seating surfaces. Verify tip seating is fully flush and secure before returning the tool to service; an improperly seated tip can cause runout, surface finish issues, or tip ejection during cutting.
