Iscar 5508400 Replaceable Drill Tip 0.535 in Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508400 is a solid carbide replaceable drill tip designed for use with compatible modular drill bodies in the ICP series. With a cutting diameter of 0.5350 inches and a 140-degree drill point angle, this insert delivers consistent entry geometry on steel and a range of secondary workpiece materials. The tip is manufactured from submicron-grade solid carbide in the IC908 manufacturer grade and finished with a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process. The honed cutting edge geometry and web-thinned point reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation. A licensed machinist or toolroom technician handles installation in a production or job-shop environment.

This replaceable tip is suited for drilling operations in steel as a primary workpiece material, with secondary application capability in stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The ICP series modular design allows rapid tip exchange without removing the drill body from the tool holder, reducing changeover time in CNC machining centers and drill presses. The slow spiral flute type and insert seat size 13 are matched to the corresponding ICP drill body shank for proper seating and torque transfer.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in submicron IC908 grade for wear resistance in steel and hard materials
• TiAlN PVD coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in dry and minimum-quantity-lubrication cutting
• 140-degree drill point angle with web-thinned point geometry reduces thrust and improves centering
• Honed cutting edge style delivers a consistent, controlled edge condition per ISO 13399 standards
• Slow spiral flute type with 2 flutes supports chip control in deep-hole and through-hole applications
• Replaceable modular tip design reduces tooling cost compared to full solid-carbide drills

Compatibility

Designed for use with ICP series modular drill bodies accepting insert seat size 13 and ISO number ICP 136. Consult the ISCAR ICP series selection guide to confirm body compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the drill tip. Use the correct torque wrench and ISCAR-specified insert key to seat the tip; do not overtighten by hand or with non-specified tools. Verify tip seating and runout with a dial indicator before resuming cutting operations.
