Iscar 5508429 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.587in Icp

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508429 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert designed for high-productivity hole-making in metal-cutting applications. Built to the ICP series platform, this tip carries an IC908 submicron carbide grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat resistance and edge durability at elevated cutting speeds. The drill point is ground to a 140-degree included angle with a thinned web and honed cutting edge geometry, reducing entry thrust and improving centering. It is installed by twist-lock into a compatible ICP series drill body and is suited for production environments where tip replacement is preferred over full drill replacement.

This replaceable tip is intended for drilling steel as its primary workpiece material. It is also rated for stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials, making it a versatile option across a broad range of metal fabrication and machining operations. The slow-spiral, two-flute configuration supports chip evacuation in these tougher materials. It is used in CNC machining centers, turning centers with live tooling, and similar machine tool setups where ICP-body drills are already installed.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials
• 140-degree drill point angle with thinned web reduces thrust and improves hole entry stability
• Honed cutting edge geometry minimizes built-up edge on stainless steel and hard materials
• Slow-spiral, two-flute design promotes chip control in steel and cast iron
• Twist-lock seating into ICP series drill bodies for fast, repeatable tip indexing
• Conforms to ISO 13399 cutting tool data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with compatible ICP series replaceable tip drill bodies. The ISO number for this tip is ICP 149. Verify body series and insert seat size 14 compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of replaceable carbide drill tips should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before handling the drill body or tip. Use only manufacturer-specified torque tools for the twist-lock seat to avoid damaging the carbide tip or body interface. Inspect the insert seat for chips, debris, or wear before seating a new tip.
