Iscar 5509965 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.591 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5509965 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill in the FCP series, designed for high-precision drilling operations on steel, cast iron, and a range of challenging secondary materials. The tip carries an IC908 submicron carbide grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN finish, delivering edge hardness and heat resistance suited to production drilling environments. The 140-degree included angle and web-thinned point geometry reduce thrust load at entry, while the slow spiral, two-flute design maintains rigidity through the cut. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling professionals install this style of replaceable tip drill as an economical alternative to solid-shank indexable drills in turning centers and machining centers.

The FCP 5509965 is built for drilling applications where consistent hole quality in steel and cast iron is required across moderate to high production volumes. The replaceable tip format allows worn tips to be swapped without scrapping the drill body, reducing tooling cost per hole. Secondary workpiece material coverage extends to stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials, making this tip appropriate for job shops running varied material schedules. The flat-bottom style and thinned point suit flat-bottomed or through-hole drilling with controlled entry and exit geometry.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tip for FCP series drill bodies using insert seat size 15, ISO number FCP 150. Verify body and tip series match before ordering.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drills of this type are seated and torqued by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician following the drill body manufacturer torque procedure. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before tip removal or installation. Inspect the tip seat on the body for chips, debris, or wear before seating a new tip, as seat damage will affect runout and hole quality. Follow the machine tool builder and tooling manufacturer guidelines for speed, feed, and coolant setup when first running a new tip.
