Iscar 5507426 SOMX05DT IC1008 Indexable Drill Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5507426 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in DR-TWIST series indexable drilling systems. Manufactured to the SOMX insert style with a square shape and 90-degree included angle, this insert carries the IC1008 manufacturer grade and features a PVD-applied TiAlN plus TiN coating for wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. The inscribed circle measures 5.4 mm (0.2126 inches), thickness is 0.0945 inches, and the corner radius is 0.4 mm (0.0157 inches). The DT chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip formation during drilling operations. Installation and changeout are performed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians.

This insert is suited for production drilling applications where indexable tooling is used in place of solid drills for cost efficiency and repeatability. The IC1008 grade and universal primary workpiece material rating make it applicable across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and other material groups corresponding to ISO material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It is intended for use in ISCAR DR-TWIST series drill bodies that accept SOMX-style inserts at the 05 insert size code.

• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR DR-TWIST series indexable drill bodies that accept SOMX-style inserts at insert size code 05. Compatible with workpiece materials spanning ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed according to the drill body manufacturer torque guidelines using the appropriate Torx or hex key supplied with the tool body. Power down and lock out any spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the pocket seat for debris or damage before seating a new insert, as a contaminated pocket will affect runout and insert life. Handle carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edges prior to use.
