Iscar 5508576 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.689 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508576 is a carbide replaceable tip drill from the ICP series, designed for precision hole-making in metalworking applications. The tip is manufactured from solid carbide with an IC908 submicron grade and coated with TiAlN via a PVD process, delivering hardness and heat resistance suited for demanding cutting operations. The drill features a 0.689-inch cutting diameter, a 140-degree included angle with a thinned point, and a slow spiral flute geometry with a honed cutting edge. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tool setup technicians in shop and production environments.

This drill is engineered primarily for steel machining and is also rated for use in stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The ICP series replaceable tip design allows the carbide tip to be swapped at the insert seat without replacing the drill body, reducing tooling cost per hole in high-volume drilling operations. The insert seat size is 17 and the ISO number for the tip is ICP 175, per ISO 13399 standards. It is suited for use on CNC machining centers and drill presses where consistent, repeatable hole quality is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 submicron grade tip for wear resistance in steel and hard materials
• TiAlN PVD coating for thermal and oxidation resistance during high-speed drilling
• 140-degree thinned point reduces thrust force and improves chip evacuation
• Slow spiral flute geometry with honed cutting edge for controlled chip flow
• Replaceable tip design at insert seat size 17 minimizes tool body replacement cost
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAD and tool management integration

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip for ICP series drill bodies using insert seat size 17, compatible with the ICP 175 ISO tip designation per ISO 13399.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing the replaceable tip. Use the correct torque wrench or key specified for the ICP series insert seat to secure the tip — do not overtighten by hand or with non-specified tooling. Verify runout and seating after installation before resuming cutting operations.
