Iscar 5508384 ICP0484 IC908 Carbide Tip Drill Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508384 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert designated ICP0484, manufactured in the IC908 submicron carbide grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating. It belongs to ISCAR's ICP series of interchangeable drill tips designed for use in compatible modular drill bodies. The insert features a 140-degree included drill point angle, a slow spiral flute configuration, a honed cutting edge style, and a web-thinned point to reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation. Cutting diameter is 0.484 inch (12.29 mm) and functional length is 0.202 inch. This insert is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in production drilling operations.

This replaceable tip is suited for drilling steel as its primary workpiece material, with secondary application capability in stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The IC908 grade combined with TiAlN PVD coating provides wear resistance and thermal stability across these material groups. Typical use is in CNC machining centers and turning centers running modular drill assemblies where rapid insert changeover is required without removing the drill body from the spindle. The insert seat size is 12 and ISO number is ICP 123, per ISO 13399 tooling data standards.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless steel
• 140-degree drill point angle with web-thinned geometry to reduce axial thrust at entry
• Slow spiral, two-flute design optimized for chip control in short-chipping and long-chipping materials
• Honed cutting edge for improved edge stability and reduced micro-chipping
• Twist insert holding method for secure, repeatable seating in ICP-series modular drill bodies
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data representation standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR ICP-series modular drill bodies accepting insert seat size 12. Compatible with secondary workpiece materials including stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), super-alloys and titanium (S), and hard materials (H) in addition to steel (P) as the primary application.

Installation Notes

Insert changeover should be performed with the machine powered down and the spindle locked per shop safety procedures. Seat and clamping surfaces on the drill body should be cleaned and inspected for damage or buildup before seating the new tip. Use the torque tool or key specified by ISCAR for the ICP body to secure the insert - do not exceed the manufacturer's fastener specification. This insert does not support coolant-through delivery; confirm the drill body configuration matches before installation.
