Iscar 5508608 ICP0776 IC908 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508608 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the ICP series, designed for precision hole-making in metalworking applications. The tip carries a 0.776 inch cutting diameter and features a 140-degree drill point angle with a thinned web for reduced thrust during entry. The IC908 grade substrate is a submicron solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, making it suited for demanding ferrous and exotic-alloy cutting. The two-flute slow spiral design channels chips efficiently while a honed cutting edge promotes consistent hole quality. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance techs or machining professionals handling metal fabrication will encounter this part as a drop-in replaceable tip for ICP-series drill bodies.

This replaceable tip is intended for drilling steel as the primary workpiece material, with rated secondary capability in stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The ICP series design allows a single drill body to accept multiple tip sizes, reducing tooling cost in production and MRO environments. The 0.315 inch functional length and 0.433 inch height make it a compact insert suited for shallow-to-moderate depth holes. It conforms to ISO 13399 standards, which simplifies tool data integration into CAM and tool management systems.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron solid carbide grade for wear resistance in steel and hard materials
• PVD TiAlN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in dry or minimal-coolant conditions
• 140-degree drill point angle with thinned web reduces entry thrust and improves centering
• Slow spiral two-flute geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation in ferrous metals
• Honed cutting edge provides a consistent, stable cut geometry
• ISO 13399 compliant for seamless integration with digital tool management platforms

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip for ISCAR ICP series drill bodies, ISO number ICP 197, with an insert seat size of 19. Compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard workpiece materials as classified under ISO material codes P, M, K, S, and H.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable tip drills should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the drill body manufacturer torque and seating procedures. Ensure the drill body is fully de-energized and secured in the spindle before tip removal or installation. Use the correct insert key or wrench specified for the ICP series body to avoid damaging the twist-lock seat. Inspect the insert seat for chips, debris, or wear before seating the new tip.
