Iscar 5508267 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill ICP0343 IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508267 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert designed for use in ISCAR ICP-series modular drill bodies. Identified by the tip designation ICP0343, this insert carries the IC908 submicron carbide grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating. The cutting diameter is 0.343 inches (8.71 mm) and the insert height is 0.213 inches (5.41 mm). The 140-degree included point angle and web-thinned geometry reduce entry forces and improve chip flow. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling specialists install this tip as a fast-change replacement in production and job-shop drilling operations.

This insert is suited for drilling steel as its primary workpiece material. Secondary applications cover stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials, corresponding to ISO material codes P, M, K, S, and H. The slow spiral, two-flute design with a honed cutting edge supports controlled chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole operations. Typical use environments include CNC machining centers and turning centers running production volumes where tip replacement time and cost are priorities over solid-drill replacement cycles.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless
• 140-degree included point angle with web-thinned geometry reduces thrust force at entry
• Honed cutting edge finish improves edge stability on hard and abrasion-resistant workpiece materials
• Slow spiral, two-flute design promotes chip control in deeper hole applications
• Replaceable tip format reduces downtime versus full solid-drill replacement
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for integration with CAM and tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR ICP-series modular drill bodies accepting Insert Seat Size 8 tips. The ISO number for this tip is ICP 087. Verify seat size and series compatibility with the host drill body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of modular drill tips should be performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians with the machine in a de-energized, locked-out state. Use the manufacturer-specified torque wrench and seating tool for the ICP series to avoid damaging the twist-lock interface or the carbide tip seat. Inspect the pocket and clamping surfaces for chips or wear before seating the new tip. Do not use substitute tools to drive or extract the insert.
