Iscar 5566707 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.264 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5566707 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill insert in the ICP series, designed to fit modular drill bodies used in precision hole-making operations. Running the IC908 grade with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert delivers consistent edge wear resistance in demanding cutting conditions. It measures 0.264 inches in cutting diameter and 0.169 inches in height. The 140-degree included angle and web-thinned point geometry reduce entry thrust and improve centering on entry. Two slow-spiral flutes with a honed cutting edge promote chip evacuation and surface finish. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments are the primary installers.

This insert is suited for drilling steel as a primary workpiece material and is also rated for stainless steel, cast iron, super-alloys and titanium, and hard materials. The ICP series is designed for short-projection, high-repeatability drilling where replaceable-tip tooling reduces downtime versus brazed or solid-drill regrinding cycles. The 140-degree point geometry is appropriate for through-holes and blind-hole applications where accurate flat-bottom approximation is not required. The honed cutting edge style is well matched to interrupted cuts and abrasive workpiece materials.

Key Features

• 0.264 inch cutting diameter with a 140-degree included drill point angle
• Web-thinned, honed cutting edge reduces entry thrust and extends edge life
• Two slow-spiral flutes support controlled chip formation in short-hole drilling
• ICP series insert seat size 6.5 for modular replaceable-tip drill body compatibility
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for integration with CAM and tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replaceable tip insert for ICP series modular drill bodies accepting insert seat size 6.5. Specific compatible drill body part numbers were not provided in the product data; consult the ISCAR ICP series catalog to confirm body-to-insert fitment before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of replaceable carbide tip inserts should be performed by qualified machinists using the torque tools and keys specified by the drill body manufacturer. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before handling the insert or seat. Inspect the insert seat for chips, debris, or damage before seating a new tip, as a contaminated or worn seat will compromise runout and tool life. Follow the drill body manufacturer documentation for correct seating torque and coolant connection procedures.
