Iscar 5509969 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.669 in IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5509969 is a carbide replaceable tip drill from the FCP series, designed for precision hole-making in ferrous and hard materials. It carries the IC908 manufacturer grade with a submicron solid carbide tip and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for extended wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. The drill features a 0.669 inch cutting diameter and a 0.260 inch functional length. A 140-degree included angle with a thinned point geometry reduces entry force and improves centering. The two-flute slow spiral design and flat bottom profile make it well suited to controlled-depth drilling operations in production environments.

This drill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and other machine tool platforms where replaceable tip tooling is preferred for rapid insert changeover without removing the drill body from the spindle. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron (ISO material codes P and K). Secondary workpiece material suitability includes stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO codes M, S, and H). The FCP series is a common choice in job shops and production facilities machining structural steel components, cast housings, and similar industrial workpieces.

Key Features

• Solid carbide submicron tip with IC908 grade for toughness in interrupted and continuous cuts
• TiAlN PVD coating resists heat and abrasion in steel and cast iron drilling
• 140-degree thinned point reduces thrust force and self-centers on entry
• Flat bottom style supports flat-bottom and shallow-pocket drilling applications
• Slow spiral two-flute geometry promotes chip control in short-chipping materials
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and tool management integration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tip for ISCAR FCP series drill bodies using insert seat size 17 and ISO number FCP 170. Specific body compatibility should be confirmed against ISCAR FCP series tooling documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drills of this type are installed and removed by a licensed machinist or tooling technician using the twist-lock holding method specified for the FCP series body. Ensure the spindle is powered down and the machine is in a safe state before changing the tip. Mating surfaces on the drill body should be inspected for chips or debris before seating the new tip. Follow the tool manufacturer torque and seating procedure outlined in the ISCAR FCP body documentation.
