Iscar 5566710 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.24 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5566710 is a solid carbide replaceable tip drill in the ICM series, designed for high-precision drilling in demanding materials. It carries manufacturer grade IC908 with a submicron carbide substrate and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for extended tool life under heat and abrasion. The drill point features a 140-degree included angle with a thinned web geometry and a T-Land style cutting edge, reducing entry forces and improving centering. At 0.24 inches cutting diameter and 0.157 inches functional length, this tip is suited for short, controlled drilling operations performed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production environments.

This replaceable tip drill is optimized for primary use in stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium — ISO material codes M and S — and is also rated for secondary applications in steel, cast iron, and hard materials (ISO codes P, K, and H). The slow spiral flute design and twist-held insert seat (size 6) make it a fit for applications where chip evacuation and cutting edge stability are critical. It is used in CNC machining centers and production drilling operations where consistent hole quality and repeatable tip indexing are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 grade with submicron substrate for toughness in difficult-to-machine alloys
• PVD TiAlN coating reduces thermal wear and extends tool life in stainless steel and titanium
• 140-degree included angle with thinned web point for reduced thrust and improved self-centering
• T-Land cutting edge geometry suits interrupted cuts and hard material entry
• Slow spiral flute design supports chip control in sticky, high-work-hardening materials
• Replaceable tip design allows tip indexing without removing the drill body from the spindle

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR ICM series drill bodies accepting insert seat size 6, ISO designation ICM 061. Confirm body series and seat size before ordering to ensure proper tip seating and clamping.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drills in this class are installed and serviced by machinists or toolroom technicians on CNC machining centers. Power down and lock out the spindle before removing or seating the tip. Ensure the insert seat is clean and free of chips before engaging the tip, as debris under the seating surface affects runout and tool life. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and ISCAR guidelines for clamping torque and coolant line purging before resuming operation.
