Iscar 5509459 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.287 in IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5509459 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert from the ICP series, designed for precision hole-making in demanding metal-cutting applications. The insert carries the IC908 submicron carbide grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, providing heat and wear resistance during high-speed drilling operations. The cutting diameter is 0.287 inches, and the included drill point angle is 140 degrees with a thinned web and honed cutting edge for reduced entry force and accurate centering. Two spiral flutes with a slow-spiral geometry clear chips efficiently from the cutting zone. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with CNC machining centers install this insert directly into compatible ICP-series drill bodies.

This replaceable tip insert is intended for drilling operations in a range of workpiece materials. The primary rated material is steel (ISO code P). Secondary rated materials include stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), super-alloys and titanium (S), and hard materials (H). The slow-spiral, two-flute geometry suits these tougher materials where chip control and edge integrity are critical. Typical application environments include production machining on vertical or horizontal machining centers in industrial and manufacturing settings. The insert seats in an ICP series drill body at seat size 7.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron solid carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in ferrous and hard materials
• 0.287 inch cutting diameter with a 140-degree thinned web drill point for accurate self-centering
• Honed cutting edge geometry reduces chipping on entry into steel and stainless steel
• Slow-spiral two-flute design promotes controlled chip evacuation in deep-hole drilling
• Replaceable tip design allows quick insert swap without removing the drill body from the spindle
• Manufactured to ISO 13399 tooling data standards, ISO number ICP 073

Compatibility

Designed for use with ICP-series replaceable tip drill bodies at insert seat size 7. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials as defined by ISO material codes P, M, K, S, and H.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and removed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians using the appropriate torx or clamping key for the ICP drill body. Ensure the drill body spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing inserts. Verify the insert seat is clean and free of chips or debris before seating the new tip, as contamination at the seating surface will affect runout and hole quality. Follow the drill body manufacturer's clamping procedure and confirm the insert is fully seated before resuming cutting operations.
