Iscar 5507923 SOMX06DT IC8080 Indexable Drill Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5507923 is a square indexable drill insert in the SOMX style, designed for use with DR-TWIST series indexable drills. Built from solid carbide and finished with a CVD coating in the IC8080 grade, this insert is engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications where heat resistance and edge durability are critical. The insert carries a 90-degree included angle and features the DT chipbreaker geometry, which promotes chip control during drilling operations. The inscribed circle measures 0.2440 inches (6.20 mm), with a corner radius of 0.0157 inches (0.40 mm) and a thickness of 0.1260 inches. It conforms to ISO 13399 standards and is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This insert is suited for production drilling in ferrous materials, specifically cast iron and steel workpieces. It fits the DR-TWIST indexable drill platform and is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers and turning centers operating at production feeds and speeds. The IC8080 CVD-coated grade targets applications where thermal stability and wear resistance are priorities, such as interrupted cuts and high-volume through-hole drilling in cast iron and carbon or alloy steel components.

Compatibility

Designed for use with the DR-TWIST series indexable drill platform. Intended for primary workpiece materials cast iron (ISO material code K) and steel (ISO material code P).

Installation Notes

Indexable insert replacement is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the tool secured or removed from the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the tool body manufacturer when seating the insert clamp screw. Do not exceed the clamping torque range recommended for the insert pocket size to avoid seat damage or insert fracture.
