Iscar 5508472 Replaceable Tip Drill 0.634 in IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508472 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert from the ICP series, designed for high-performance drilling in metalworking applications. This tip carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, giving it strong resistance to heat and wear in demanding cutting environments. The insert features a 0.634-inch cutting diameter, a 140-degree drill point angle, and a honed cutting edge for clean entry and consistent hole quality. The two-flute slow spiral geometry with a web-thinned point reduces thrust force and improves chip evacuation. Licensed HVAC techs and machinists working with ferrous and exotic materials will find this insert built for rigorous duty cycles.

This replaceable tip drill insert is suited for drilling operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO material codes P, M, K, S, and H. The ICP series format makes it a modular solution for production drilling environments where tip replacement without full tool discard reduces tooling cost and downtime. Typical applications include CNC machining centers and production drilling in job shops, fabrication facilities, and aerospace or energy component manufacturing.

Key Features

• 0.634-inch cutting diameter with 140-degree thinned drill point for reduced entry thrust
• IC908 submicron solid carbide grade with TiAlN PVD coating for heat and wear resistance
• Slow spiral, two-flute geometry promotes reliable chip flow in deep and interrupted cuts
• Honed cutting edge improves edge stability and finish quality on the hole wall
• Web-thinned point geometry reduces axial cutting force at drill entry
• Complies with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for integration with CAM and tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with compatible ICP series replaceable tip drill bodies accepting an insert seat size 16 and ISO number ICP 161. Verify body compatibility with ISCAR ICP series toolholders before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the replaceable tip. Use the correct torque driver or key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the tip insert — do not overtighten or use improvised tools. Inspect the insert seat for debris or damage before mounting each new tip to ensure proper seating and runout accuracy.
