Iscar 5566709 ICM0236 IC908 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill

Product Description

The ISCAR 5566709 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert designated ICM0236, manufactured in the IC908 grade within ISCAR's ICM series. This indexable drill tip measures 0.236 inches in cutting diameter and features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, delivering wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cutting conditions. The 140-degree included angle and web-thinned point reduce entry force and improve chip evacuation. With two spiral flutes in a slow spiral configuration and a T-Land style cutting edge, the insert is engineered for precision drilling in high-productivity environments. Installation and tooling management are handled by qualified machinists and CNC operators.

This replaceable tip is designed for drilling operations in stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium as primary workpiece materials, with secondary applicability in steel, cast iron, and hard materials. The ICM series platform uses a twist-type insert holding method, seating into a compatible ICM body with insert seat size 6. It is well suited for precision component manufacturing in aerospace, medical, and industrial applications where close-tolerance drilling in difficult-to-machine materials is required. The insert conforms to ISO 13399 standards for cutting tool data representation.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drills of this type are installed and indexed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing any indexable insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and ISCAR-specified tooling keys when seating the insert to avoid over-tightening or damaging the seating surface. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or debris before installing a new tip.
