Iscar 5508333 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.358 in ICP0358

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508333 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert from the ICP series, designed for high-performance hole-making operations in metalworking environments. Identified by the tip designation ICP0358 and manufactured to the IC908 submicron carbide grade, this insert features a TiAlN PVD coating that provides thermal resistance and extended tool life. The cutting diameter is 0.358 inches, the included point angle is 140 degrees, and the functional length is 0.174 inches. With a honed cutting edge style and slow-spiral, web-thinned geometry, the insert is optimized for controlled chip evacuation and reduced thrust in steel and other demanding workpiece materials. Installation is performed by twist-lock into compatible ICP series drill bodies.

This replaceable tip drill insert is suited for production drilling in CNC machining centers and turning centers across both job shop and high-volume manufacturing settings. Primary workpiece material is steel (ISO code P), with secondary suitability for stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO codes M, K, S, H). The tip conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards and carries the ISO number ICP 091, making it compatible with standardized ICP series drill body assemblies used in precision metalcutting operations.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron solid carbide grade with TiAlN PVD coating for wear and heat resistance
• 0.358-inch cutting diameter with 140-degree included point angle for accurate entry
• Web-thinned, honed cutting edge geometry reduces thrust and improves chip flow
• Slow-spiral flute design with two flutes supports stable cutting in steel and stainless
• Twist-lock insert seat (size 9) for repeatable positioning in ICP series drill bodies
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR ICP series replaceable tip drill bodies that accept insert seat size 9. ISO number ICP 091 identifies the mating body interface. Confirm body compatibility with the specific ICP series drill holder before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician using the appropriate torque key for the twist-lock seat. Ensure the drill body and spindle are fully stopped and de-energized before changing the tip insert. Inspect the insert seat for debris or wear before seating the new tip. Follow the machine tool builder and ISCAR tooling assembly guidelines for proper seating confirmation prior to cutting.
