Iscar 5508584 ICK0689 IC908 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508584 is a carbide replaceable tip drill tip in the ICK series, identified by tip designation ICK0689 and manufactured to IC908 grade using submicron solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating. The tip measures 0.689 inches in cutting diameter and is engineered for high-productivity drilling in demanding materials. Its 140-degree included angle and honed cutting edge provide controlled entry geometry, while the web-thinned point reduces thrust forces at drill entry. The slow spiral flute type and twist-style insert holding method are designed to support chip evacuation in difficult-to-machine workpieces. Licensed HVAC, machining, and metalworking tradespeople install this tip as a direct replaceable insert in compatible ISCAR ICK-series drill bodies.

This replaceable tip is suited for drilling cast iron as its primary workpiece material. It is also rated for use in steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials, making it a versatile option across job shop and production machining environments. The ICK series platform allows quick tip changes at the machine without removing the drill body from the spindle, reducing changeover time in high-cycle applications. The ISO 13399 standard compliance supports integration with tool management and presetting systems commonly used in CNC machining operations.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron solid carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in abrasive and hard materials
• 140-degree included angle with web-thinned point for reduced entry thrust and accurate hole initiation
• Slow spiral, 2-flute geometry optimized for chip control in cast iron and steel
• Honed cutting edge finish for edge stability and coating adhesion
• ISO 13399 compliant for use with digital tool management and presetting systems
• Replaceable tip design minimizes downtime by enabling in-machine tip changes on compatible ICK-series bodies

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR ICK-series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 17, ISO number ICK 175. Compatible with drill bodies configured for the ICK replaceable tip platform. Verify body seat size before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable carbide drill tips should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating the tip. Use the correct torque tool as specified by ISCAR for the ICK series seat to avoid tip seating damage or premature failure. Do not exceed the cutting parameters recommended for the IC908 grade and TiAlN coating in the applicable material.
