Iscar 5509962 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.531 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5509962 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill in the FCP series, designed for high-accuracy drilling in demanding production environments. It carries a 0.531-inch (17/32 inch) cutting diameter and features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which improves heat resistance and extends tool life at elevated cutting speeds. The drill point is thinned at 140 degrees and runs a slow spiral, flat-bottom geometry suited to entry and exit control in ferrous materials. Weighing approximately 0.049 pounds, this tip installs into a compatible FCP body and is turned into place using the twist insert-holding method. It is intended for use by machinists and CNC tooling technicians on production floors or job shops.

The 5509962 is engineered primarily for steel and cast iron applications, classified under ISO material groups P and K. Secondary workpiece materials include stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO groups M, S, and H). The flat-bottom style and thinned web geometry make this tip appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations where clean entry and minimal thrust force are priorities. It is sized to ISO Number FCP 135 and complies with ISO 13399 tooling data standards. Typical use is in CNC machining centers and turning centers running through-tool or external coolant setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide submicron-grade tip with IC908 manufacturer grade for wear resistance in steel and cast iron
• TiAlN PVD coating for high-temperature performance and extended tool life
• 140-degree included drill point angle with thinned web for reduced thrust and clean entry
• Slow spiral, flat-bottom geometry suited to ferrous and hard-material drilling
• 2-flute configuration for efficient chip evacuation in short-chipping materials
• Compliant with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for integration with CAM and tooling management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with compatible ISCAR FCP series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 13. Matches ISO Number FCP 135. Consult ISCAR tooling documentation to confirm body compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

This replaceable tip is installed by a machinist or CNC tooling technician using the twist insert-holding method — no adhesive or fastener is required beyond the locking torque specified by the FCP body manufacturer. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing any replaceable tip. Inspect the insert seat and body bore for chips or debris before installation to ensure full seating and runout accuracy. Do not exceed the recommended cutting parameters published by ISCAR for the IC908 grade and FCP series.
