Iscar 5508048 Carbide Drill Chamfer Insert IC908 Tialn

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508048 is a carbide drill chamfer insert designed for use in multifunction tooling systems. It carries the XCMT10T308-MF designation and is produced in the IC908 manufacturer grade with a TiAlN coating applied via a PVD process. The 84-degree chamfer angle suits demanding cutting applications across a broad range of workpiece materials. The MF chipbreaker geometry promotes controlled chip formation and helps maintain cutting stability. This insert is handled and installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians working in production machining environments.

This insert is rated for universal primary workpiece material compatibility, covering ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S. That range includes cast irons, non-ferrous alloys, general steels, stainless steels, and superalloys, making it well suited for shops running mixed-material production. It fits into compatible ISCAR multifunction tool holders that accept the XCMT insert style in the 10 size code designation. Typical applications include combined drilling and chamfering operations where a single-pass toolpath is preferred.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the tool holder manufacturer torque and clamping specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before seating a new insert. Do not reuse inserts that show edge chipping, thermal cracking, or deformation.
