Iscar 5509964 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.571 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5509964 is a carbide replaceable tip drill from the FCP series, designed for precision hole-making in metalworking applications. The tip is manufactured from solid carbide with an IC908 submicron-grade substrate and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, delivering hardness and thermal resistance suited for demanding drilling cycles. The cutting diameter measures 0.571 inches, with a functional length of 0.189 inches and an overall projection of 0.217 inches. The 140-degree included angle and web-thinned flat-bottom point reduce entry forces and improve chip flow. This insert is installed by licensed machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

This replaceable tip is engineered for drilling into steel and cast iron as its primary workpiece materials, with secondary suitability for stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The FCP series design targets high-productivity drilling operations where tip replacement rather than full-drill exchange reduces tooling cost and downtime. The slow-spiral, two-flute geometry with a spiral flute type handles chip evacuation in short-to-medium hole depths typical of structural and machined-component work. Manufactured to ISO 13399 standards for tool data representation.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 submicron-grade tip for extended tool life in ferrous materials
• PVD TiAlN coating provides heat and wear resistance during high-speed drilling
• 140-degree web-thinned flat-bottom point reduces thrust force on entry
• Two-flute slow-spiral geometry promotes controlled chip evacuation
• ISO 13399 compliant tool data for CAM and tool management integration
• Replaceable tip design minimizes changeover time and tooling waste

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip for ISCAR FCP series drill bodies accepting ISO number FCP 145 with insert seat size 14. Confirm body model and seat size before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the drill body and insert seat are clean and free of chips before seating the tip. Secure the tip using the twist-holding method per ISCAR FCP series tooling instructions, and verify proper seating before initiating a cut. Follow the machine tool manufacturer lockout and tool-change procedures before any insert swap.
