Iscar 5509565 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.374 in IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5509565 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill designed for precision hole-making in steel and a range of other metallic workpieces. Built to the ICP-2M series standard and offered in manufacturer grade IC908 with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this tip delivers controlled cutting performance with a 140-degree drill point angle and a slow spiral, double-margin flute design. The cutting diameter is 0.374 inches and the overall projection is 0.228 inches. Web thinning is incorporated into the geometry to reduce thrust and improve chip evacuation at entry. Installation follows a twist-style insert holding method for repeatable seating in compatible drill bodies.

This replaceable tip is suited for drilling operations in steel as the primary workpiece material. Secondary materials include stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials, making it a versatile option across general machining and production environments. The double-margin point type supports hole straightness and finish quality in through and blind-hole applications. It is typically installed by machinists and tool-room technicians on CNC machining centers and drill presses where modular drill systems are used.

Key Features

• PVD TiAlN coating provides thermal protection and extended tool life
• 140-degree drill point angle with double-margin style for accurate entry and hole straightness
• Slow spiral, 2-flute design promotes controlled chip flow
• Web-thinned geometry reduces axial thrust at drill entry
• Twist-style holding method ensures repeatable tip seating in ICP-2M series bodies
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with ICP-2M series replaceable tip drill bodies. ISO Number reference: ICP 095-2M. Insert seat size 9. Verify body compatibility against ISCAR ICP-2M system specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine spindle fully stopped and locked out per site lockout/tagout procedures. Use the appropriate torque tool or wrench specified for the ICP-2M body to seat the tip with the twist-style holding method — do not use impact tools. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for debris or damage before installing a new tip. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and ISCAR guidelines for runout verification after tip change.
