Iscar 5508395 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill ICP0516 IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508395 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert in the ICP series, designed for use in compatible ISCAR ICP-style drill bodies. Identified by the tip designation ICP0516 and manufactured in grade IC908 with a submicron carbide substrate, this insert features a TiAlN PVD coating, a 140-degree included angle, a thinned web point, and a slow spiral, two-flute geometry. The cutting diameter is 0.516 inches (33/64 inch). It is installed and replaced by machinists and tooling technicians working in metal-cutting and drilling operations on CNC or manual machine tools.

This replaceable tip is suited for drilling operations in steel as its primary workpiece material. It also performs in stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The honed cutting edge and TiAlN PVD coating support performance in demanding metal-removal applications. The insert geometry is designated P, and the insert seat size is 13, corresponding to the ICP 131 ISO number. This tip is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 2 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 grade with submicron substrate for wear resistance in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• TiAlN PVD coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance during high-speed steel and stainless drilling
• 140-degree included angle with thinned web point reduces thrust force at drill entry
• Slow spiral, two-flute design with honed cutting edge for controlled chip evacuation
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for machine-readable tool identification
• Replaceable tip design reduces tooling cost by allowing tip swap without replacing the full drill body

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip insert for ISCAR ICP-series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 13, corresponding to ISO number ICP 131. Confirm seat size and series compatibility with the drill body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable carbide drill tips should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully stopped and locked out. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified for the drill body to seat the insert firmly without overtightening. Inspect the insert seat for debris or damage before installing a new tip. Follow the drill body manufacturer's tool assembly guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures.
