Iscar 5506710 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.886 in IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5506710 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert from the ICM series, designed for high-performance drilling in demanding metalworking applications. The insert carries IC908 grade solid carbide construction with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability in interrupted or continuous cuts. The 140-degree included angle with a thinned point reduces entry thrust and improves centering. The slow spiral, T-Land geometry with web thinning is suited to the chip characteristics of stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Licensed machinists and tool-room technicians typically handle installation and indexing of this insert type.

The ISCAR 5506710 is engineered for use with ICM-series replaceable tip drill bodies accepting an insert seat size 22 and ISO number ICM 225. Primary target workpiece materials are stainless steel, superalloy, and titanium (ISO material codes M and S). Secondary workpiece materials include steel, cast iron, and hard materials (ISO codes P, K, and H). This insert fits controlled production environments such as CNC machining centers where precise, repeatable drilling in difficult alloys is required. Coolant delivery is not through-coolant on this insert style.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron solid carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for heat and wear resistance
• 140-degree included angle with thinned point reduces thrust and improves hole entry
• Slow spiral, T-Land geometry optimized for stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium chip formation
• Web thinned construction lowers cutting forces in tough materials
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and tool management integration
• 0.886 inch cutting diameter with 0.367 inch functional length in a compact replaceable tip format

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR ICM-series drill bodies that accept insert seat size 22 and ISO designation ICM 225. Verify body seat condition and torque procedure per ISCAR tooling documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable tip drill inserts is performed by qualified machinists following the drill body manufacturer's seating and torque procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before removing or seating the insert. Inspect the insert pocket seat for chips, debris, or wear before seating a new insert, as a contaminated seat will affect runout and hole quality. Follow ISCAR tooling documentation for the correct twist-lock engagement sequence specific to the ICM series body.
