Iscar 5506699 ICM0744 IC908 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill

Product Description

The ISCAR 5506699 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert designated ICM0744, manufactured in grade IC908 with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. The cutting tip is made from solid submicron carbide and seats into ICM series drill bodies at insert seat size 18. It delivers a cutting diameter of 0.744 inches and features a 140-degree included angle drill point with web thinning for reduced thrust and improved centering. The two-flute slow spiral design with T-Land geometry and thinned point is engineered for productive, stable drilling in demanding materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this consumable tip.

This replaceable tip is optimized for primary use in stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpiece materials. It is also rated for secondary application in steel, cast iron, and hard materials. The ICM series platform is common in production machining environments where tip replacement without pulling the entire drill body reduces changeover time. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations on CNC machining centers and lathes where controlled chip evacuation and edge integrity are critical.

Installation Notes

This tip is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician into a compatible ICM series drill body. Ensure the drill body and machine spindle are fully stopped and de-energized before tip removal or installation. Follow the drill body manufacturer torque and seating procedure for the twist-lock insert holding method. Inspect the seating pocket for chips or damage before installing a new tip to ensure proper seating and runout.
