Iscar 5507427 SOMX07DT IC1008 Carbide Drill Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5507427 is a square indexable drill insert in the SOMX style, designed for use in ISCAR DR-TWIST series indexable drills. It carries the IC1008 manufacturer grade and is produced from solid carbide with a PVD coating process applied to the finished insert. The inscribed circle measures 0.3030 inches (7.70 mm), the insert thickness is 0.1417 inches, and the corner radius is 0.0197 inches (0.50 mm). This insert is intended for installation by machinists and tool-room technicians maintaining or setting up indexable drill tooling in production or job-shop environments.

This insert suits a wide range of workpiece materials. The primary workpiece material classification is listed as Universal, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S. Typical applications include drilling operations on carbon steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous alloys, and superalloys where a versatile, coated carbide insert is appropriate. The DT chipbreaker geometry is suited to general-purpose drilling where controlled chip formation is a priority. This insert is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the correct torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamping screws when seating the insert; do not substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert pocket for damage or debris before seating a new insert. Handle carbide inserts with care to avoid chipping the cutting edges prior to use.
