Iscar 5509248 ICK0724 IC908 Carbide Tip Drill 0.724 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5509248 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the ICK series, designed for high-performance drilling in demanding machining environments. It accepts the ICK0724 tip manufactured from solid carbide with an IC908 grade submicron substrate and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating. The tip features a 140-degree included angle, a slow spiral flute configuration, and a web-thinned point for reduced entry forces. With a cutting diameter of 0.724 inches and a functional length of 0.413 inches, this replaceable tip is installed by machinists and tooling technicians in CNC drilling operations requiring precise, repeatable performance.

This replaceable tip is suited for drilling cast iron as its primary workpiece material, with secondary capability in steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The ISO insert geometry is classified as K, and the tip seats into insert seat size 18 holders within the ICK series. It is appropriate for production drilling in both job-shop and high-volume manufacturing environments where tip replacement rather than full tool replacement reduces tooling costs and downtime.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 submicron grade substrate for edge stability in abrasive materials
• PVD TiAlN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hard materials
• 140-degree included angle with web-thinned point reduces thrust force at entry
• Slow spiral, 2-flute design suited for cast iron and difficult-to-machine alloys
• Honed cutting edge style improves edge integrity on hard and abrasive workpieces
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for use with tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR ICK series replaceable tip drill bodies accepting insert seat size 18. ISO Number reference: ICK 184. Compatible workpiece materials include cast iron (primary), steel, stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials.

Installation Notes

Replaceable carbide drill tips are installed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. The drill body must be fully secured in the spindle and all machine motion must be stopped before tip removal or installation. Use the appropriate torx or hex key as specified by the drill body manufacturer to seat and lock the tip correctly — do not overtighten by improvised means. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before seating a new tip to ensure proper contact and concentricity.
