Iscar 5509578 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.457 in ICP-2M

Product Description

The ISCAR 5509578 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert designed for high-productivity hole-making operations in metalworking applications. Built to ICP-2M series specifications, it features a 0.457-inch cutting diameter, a 140-degree drill point angle, and a TiAlN PVD coating that extends tool life in demanding cutting environments. The double-margin point geometry and slow-spiral flute design promote stable entry and chip evacuation. This insert is intended for use by machinists and toolroom professionals working on CNC machining centers and drilling applications where consistent hole quality and repeatable tool change are priorities.

This replaceable tip drill insert is suited for primary drilling operations in steel and stainless steel, with additional capability in cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The IC908 grade, produced from submicron carbide substrate with a PVD TiAlN coating, is engineered for cutting conditions where heat resistance and edge integrity are critical. It is a direct-fit replacement tip for ICP-2M series drill bodies and is manufactured to ISO 13399 standards, supporting tool assembly documentation and digital tooling integration in modern shop environments.

Key Features

• 0.457-inch cutting diameter with 140-degree double-margin drill point for accurate entry and hole geometry
• IC908 submicron carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless steel
• Slow-spiral flute design with web-thinned geometry aids chip flow and reduces thrust force
• Compatible with primary workpiece materials P (steel) and secondary materials M, K, S, and H per ISO classification
• Manufactured to ISO 13399 standards for tooling data interoperability
• Replaceable tip format reduces tooling cost versus solid drill replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tip for ISCAR ICP-2M series replaceable tip drill bodies, insert seat size 11, ISO number ICP 116-2M.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable tip drill inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and spindle locked. Use the manufacturer-recommended torque wrench or key for the twist-lock insert holding method — do not over-tighten or seat by impact. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or wear before each tip change. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tooling changes.
