Iscar 5509304 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.295in IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5509304 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert in the ICP series, designed for use in compatible modular drill bodies on CNC machining centers and turning centers. Manufactured to IC908 grade from submicron carbide substrate, the insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process for extended wear resistance in demanding cutting applications. The 140-degree included angle with a thinned web point geometry reduces thrust forces at entry and improves chip evacuation. With a cutting diameter of 0.295 inches and a slow spiral flute configuration, this insert is sized for precision hole-making in ferrous and exotic workpiece materials. Installation and replacement are performed by machining professionals in production shop environments.

This replaceable tip insert is intended for drilling operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The ICP series insert seat size 7 format makes it compatible with modular drill body systems that accept this insert geometry. Typical applications include high-volume production drilling on machining centers where rapid insert indexing reduces downtime. The honed cutting edge style suits interrupted cuts and general-purpose hole drilling in P, M, K, S, and H workpiece material categories per ISO classification.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drill inserts of this type are installed and changed by machinists or tooling technicians using the torque and seating procedure specified by the drill body manufacturer for the ICP series. Always disengage machine power and confirm spindle stop before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping seat for chips or debris before seating the new insert. Follow the drill body manufacturer's setup documentation for proper coolant port alignment and insert locking confirmation before resuming cutting operations.
