Iscar 5508771 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.315in ICP-2M

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508771 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill designed for high-productivity hole-making operations in demanding materials. Built to ICP-2M series specifications, it carries an IC908 grade submicron carbide tip with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for thermal resistance and edge retention. The drill features a 140-degree included angle, a double-margin point geometry, and a slow spiral flute configuration that controls chip evacuation in tough cuts. At 0.315 inches cutting diameter and 0.155 inches functional length, this replaceable tip format lets machinists swap worn tips without discarding the full drill body, reducing tooling cost per hole.

This drill is suited for production drilling in steel as its primary workpiece material, with secondary suitability for stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The double-margin design provides additional bore guidance and hole straightness, making it a practical choice for close-tolerance applications on CNC machining centers and drill presses where surface finish and positional accuracy matter.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron solid carbide tip grade for toughness and wear resistance in steel and hard materials
• PVD TiAlN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds
• 140-degree included angle with double-margin point geometry for accurate entry and bore guidance
• Slow spiral flute design optimized for controlled chip flow in difficult-to-machine alloys
• Replaceable tip construction allows tip swap without replacing the full drill body
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for compatibility with digital tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip for use with compatible ICP-2M series drill bodies accepting an insert seat size 8, conforming to ISO 13399 standards. ISO number ICP 080-2M.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before seating or removing the replaceable tip. Use the appropriate torque tool as specified by the drill body manufacturer when securing the tip to avoid seat damage. Verify cutting parameters including speed and feed against the IC908 grade recommendations for the target workpiece material before beginning a cut.
