Iscar 5566689 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.303 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5566689 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill designed for precision hole-making in demanding industrial machining applications. Built to the ICP-2M series standard, this drill tip features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, providing thermal resistance and extended tool life under high-speed cutting conditions. The tip carries the IC908 submicron carbide grade, which is engineered for toughness and wear resistance in difficult materials. With a 0.303-inch cutting diameter, a 140-degree drill point angle, and a double-margin design, it delivers accurate, stable drilling with minimal wandering. Two spiral flutes in a slow-spiral configuration support chip evacuation. Installation is by twist-lock into a compatible ICP-2M series drill body.

This replaceable tip is suited for production drilling operations in metalworking environments, including CNC machining centers and general-purpose drilling setups. It is rated for use in steel as its primary workpiece material, with secondary suitability for stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The ICP-2M series is targeted at shops requiring consistent diameter repeatability and quick tip changeover without removing the drill body from the spindle. It meets ISO 13399 standards for cutting tool data representation.

Compatibility

Designed for use with ICP-2M series replaceable tip drill bodies. Compatible with workpieces in steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), super-alloys and titanium (S), and hard materials (H) per ISO material classification. ISO number reference: ICP 077-2M.

Installation Notes

This tip is installed and removed by a machinist or tooling technician using the twist-lock method specific to the ICP-2M system. Ensure the drill body shank and tip seat are free of chips and debris before seating the tip. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before performing any tip change. Follow the drill body manufacturer torque and clamping guidance for the ICP-2M interface.
