Iscar 5508777 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.551 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5508777 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill designed for high-productivity hole-making in ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials. It carries the IC908 manufacturer grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for thermal resistance and edge retention. The cutting diameter is 0.551 inches with a 140-degree drill point angle and a slow spiral flute configuration. The double-margin point geometry improves hole straightness and surface finish. This insert-style drill is installed and serviced by machinists and tool-crib technicians operating CNC machining centers or conventional drilling equipment.

The 5508777 belongs to the ICP-2M series and is intended for drilling operations in steel as its primary workpiece material. Secondary material compatibility spans stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The replaceable tip design reduces tooling cost compared to solid carbide drills by allowing tip replacement without discarding the drill body. The part conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards, which simplifies integration with CAM software and tool management systems.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC908 submicron grade for wear resistance in demanding alloys
• PVD TiAlN coating provides high-temperature resistance and reduced built-up edge in steel and stainless steel
• 140-degree included angle with double-margin point for improved hole accuracy and reduced thrust force
• Slow spiral flute geometry suited for short-chipping materials including cast iron and hardened steels
• Web-thinned tip reduces entry force and centering tendency at drill start
• ISO 13399 compliant — compatible with standardized tool data environments and CAM library imports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip for ICP-2M series drill bodies with insert seat size 14. Confirm body seat size and series designation before ordering to ensure proper seating and retention.

Installation Notes

Installation and tip replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist following the tool manufacturer's torque and seating procedure for ICP-2M body holders. Ensure the drill body and tip seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before engagement. Verify spindle speed and feed rate parameters are appropriate for the workpiece material grade before initiating the cut. Do not exceed the manufacturer-rated cutting parameters for the IC908 grade in the workpiece material being machined.
