Iscar 5566703 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill Insert IC908

Product Description

The ISCAR 5566703 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert designed for precision drilling in demanding metal-cutting applications. Manufactured to the ICP series standard and identified by ISO number ICP 061, this insert features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, providing wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. The 140-degree included angle with a thinned point geometry reduces thrust force and improves centering. The honed cutting edge and slow spiral flute design work together to control chip flow and maintain surface finish. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in production machining environments are the primary installers of this insert type.

This insert is rated for primary use in steel (ISO material code P) and is also rated for secondary use in stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO material codes M, K, S, and H). The IC908 submicron carbide grade with PVD TiAlN coating makes it well-suited for high-productivity drilling cycles where tool life consistency is a priority. It fits insert seat size 6 within the ICP series body platform and is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 2 units.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with IC908 submicron grade for extended tool life in steel and multi-material applications
• TiAlN PVD coating provides heat resistance and reduces built-up edge during high-speed drilling
• 140-degree included drill point angle with thinned point geometry reduces entry thrust and improves hole location accuracy
• Honed cutting edge and slow spiral flute design promote controlled chip evacuation
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for use with compatible CAM and tool management systems
• Web thinned geometry reduces axial cutting forces on entry

Compatibility

Designed for use with ICP series replaceable tip drill bodies at insert seat size 6, conforming to ISO 13399. Specific body compatibility should be confirmed against the ICP series body selection chart for the 0.24-inch cutting diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of carbide tip inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before handling any cutting insert. Use the appropriate torx or insert-seating tool specified for the ICP series body to seat the insert correctly — do not overtighten by hand or with unapproved tools. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before installation to ensure full contact and accurate runout.
