Iscar 5508345 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.374 in IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508345 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert from the ICK series, designed for high-precision hole-making in demanding metalworking applications. This tip carries the IC908 manufacturer grade, manufactured from submicron solid carbide and coated with TiAlN via a PVD process for extended tool life and heat resistance. The cutting diameter is 0.374 inches with a 140-degree drill point angle, a slow spiral flute design, and a honed cutting edge style that promotes clean entry and reduced burr. It is suited for machinists and CNC operators working with tight tolerances in production environments.

This replaceable tip is designed for primary use in cast iron machining, with secondary material compatibility covering steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. It is a component of the ICK system, fitting an insert seat size 9 body. The 2-flute spiral configuration and web-thinned point support efficient chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations in both horizontal and vertical machining center setups.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron solid carbide grade for wear resistance in abrasive materials
• TiAlN PVD coating for thermal protection and extended cutting life
• 140-degree thinned drill point reduces thrust force and improves centering
• Slow spiral flute geometry optimized for cast iron and hard material chip control
• Honed cutting edge style minimizes micro-chipping on entry
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tool data standards for CAM and tooling system integration

Compatibility

Designed for use with ICK series replaceable tip drill bodies at insert seat size 9, per ISO number ICK 095. Compatible with cast iron as the primary workpiece material, and rated for secondary use in steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO material codes P, M, S, H, K).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. The drill body must be fully powered down and the spindle locked before seating or removing the replaceable tip. Use the appropriate ISCAR torque key or insertion tool for the ICK system to secure the tip without overtightening. Verify tip seating and runout before commencing a cut, particularly in close-tolerance applications.
