Iscar 5507937 Indexable Drill Insert SOGX05AL IC08 Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5507937 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert in SOGX style, grade IC08, designed for use in indexable twist drill tooling systems. This uncoated insert features a square shape with a 5.4 mm inscribed circle, a thickness of 0.0945 inches, and a 0.4 mm corner radius. It carries the AL chipbreaker geometry, which is optimized for cutting non-ferrous metals including aluminum and other soft materials. The IC08 grade is an uncoated fine-grain carbide, well suited to applications demanding sharp edges and smooth surface finishes. Machinists and tool-room technicians install this insert as a replaceable cutting element in compatible DR-TWIST series drill bodies.

This insert is intended for use in indexable drill bodies from the ISCAR DR-TWIST series. It is primarily applied when drilling non-ferrous metals, workpiece material code N per ISO 13399 classification. Typical applications include production drilling on CNC machining centers and lathes in job shop or manufacturing environments. The SOGX geometry and AL chipbreaker make it a common choice for aluminum bores, copper alloys, and similar soft non-ferrous materials where edge sharpness and chip evacuation are priorities.

Key Features

• SOGX square insert style with AL chipbreaker geometry optimized for non-ferrous metal cutting
• IC08 uncoated solid carbide grade delivers sharp, bright cutting edges for soft materials
• 5.4 mm inscribed circle (0.2126 inches) and 0.4 mm corner radius for precise fit in DR-TWIST drill bodies
• 0.0945-inch insert thickness provides stable seating in the pocket
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for interoperability
• Insert size code 05, size designation 050204, for straightforward replacement sourcing

Compatibility

Designed for use in ISCAR DR-TWIST series indexable drill bodies that accept the SOGX insert style with insert size code 05. Confirm pocket geometry and clamping configuration against the drill body specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Indexable drill insert replacement is performed by qualified machinists or tool-room technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating any insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the fastener specification called out in the drill body documentation — do not overtighten or use impact tools on insert screws. Inspect the pocket seat and clamping screw for wear or damage before installing a new insert, and ensure the seating surfaces are clean and free of chips.
