Iscar 5507925 SOMT09DT IC8080 Indexable Drill Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5507925 is a square, 90-degree indexable drill insert designed for use in ISCAR DR-TWIST series indexable drills. Manufactured from solid carbide with a CVD-applied IC8080 grade coating, this insert delivers reliable cutting performance in demanding machining operations. The SOMT09DT designation identifies the insert style, geometry, and DT chipbreaker configuration. With an inscribed circle of 0.3543 inches (9.00 mm), a corner radius of 0.0236 inches (0.60 mm), and an insert size code of 09T306, it is sized for standard SOMT pocket toolholders. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this insert as a direct replacement in rotating drill bodies.

This insert is suited for drilling cast iron and steel workpieces in both production and job-shop environments. The IC8080 CVD-coated carbide grade is optimized for ISO material groups K (cast iron) and P (steel), making it applicable across a broad range of ferrous machining applications. It is typically used in horizontal and vertical machining centers as well as CNC turning centers equipped with live tooling and DR-TWIST compatible drill bodies. Each package contains one insert; the minimum order quantity is 10 units.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and torquing should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key specified for the DR-TWIST toolholder pocket screw to avoid over-torquing and seat damage. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or debris before installing a replacement insert.
