Iscar 5508580 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.705 in IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508580 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert in the ICP series, designed to fit ICP-style modular drill bodies used in precision metal-cutting operations. The insert carries an IC908 manufacturer grade with a submicron carbide substrate and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, making it well suited for demanding drilling applications in steel and stainless steel. The 140-degree included angle tip geometry incorporates web thinning and a honed cutting edge for clean entry and reduced thrust force. At 0.705 inches cutting diameter with a functional length of 0.281 inches, this tip is installed and replaced by machinists and toolroom technicians maintaining modular drill assemblies.

This replaceable tip is intended for use in CNC machining centers and drill presses running ICP-series modular drill bodies. Primary workpiece material is steel (ISO material code P), with rated secondary compatibility across stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO codes M, K, S, and H). The slow spiral flute type and thinned point geometry suit through-hole and blind-hole drilling in tough alloys where controlled chip evacuation matters. The insert conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless steel
• 140-degree included angle with web-thinned, honed cutting edge for reduced entry thrust
• Slow spiral flute design aids chip control in tough workpiece materials
• ISO 13399 compliant insert geometry for standardized tooling data integration
• Replaceable tip design reduces tooling cost versus solid drill replacement
• Rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip for ICP-series modular drill bodies with insert seat size 17, ISO number ICP 179. Confirm drill body seat size and series designation before installation.

Installation Notes

Replaceable carbide drill tips are seated and secured in the mating drill body by a machinist or toolroom technician; follow the drill body manufacturer torque and seating procedure from their documentation. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine is in a locked-out, energy-isolated state before tip removal or installation. Inspect the insert seat on the drill body for chips, debris, or wear before seating the new tip. Handle carbide inserts carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edge prior to use.
