Iscar 5508320 Replaceable Drill Tip 0.3230 in IC908 Tialn

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508320 is a replaceable drill tip from the ICM series, designed for indexable drill systems used in precision hole-making and drilling operations. The tip is manufactured from solid carbide with a submicron material grade and carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. It measures 0.3230 inches (8.00 mm) in cutting diameter and features a 140-degree point angle with a standard point type and helical, regular-spiral flute geometry. With two flutes and a web-thinned design, it is built for efficient chip evacuation and cutting performance in demanding materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in metalworking shops are the primary installers.

This drill tip is engineered primarily for stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium (ISO material codes M and S). Secondary workpiece materials include steel, cast iron, and hard materials (ISO codes P, K, and H). It fits insert seat size 8 within the ICM series indexable drill platform and conforms to ISO 13399 tooling standards. Typical applications include precision drilling in aerospace, medical, and general metalworking environments where tight tolerances and difficult-to-machine materials are involved.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with submicron material grade for hardness and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating via PVD process for high-temperature performance in stainless steel and superalloys
• 140-degree point angle with web-thinned geometry for reduced thrust force and improved centering
• Two helical flutes with regular spiral for consistent chip evacuation
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for system compatibility
• Clamp-style insert holding for secure, repeatable seating in ICM series bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use with ICM series indexable drill bodies requiring insert seat size 8, conforming to ISO number ICM 082. Compatible with ISCAR ICM system drill holders that accept this seat size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before replacing the drill tip. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the drill body manufacturer — do not overtighten or substitute fasteners. Inspect the insert seat for damage or debris before seating the new tip to ensure proper contact and runout performance.
