Iscar 5566713 ICM0252 IC908 Carbide Tip Drill Insert

Product Description

The ISCAR 5566713 is an ICM-series replaceable carbide tip drill insert designed for precision hole-making in demanding materials. Manufactured to the IC908 grade using a submicron solid carbide substrate with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert delivers heat resistance and edge retention at the cutting zone. The drill tip measures 0.252 inches in cutting diameter with a 140-degree included angle and features a web-thinned, T-Land geometry with a slow spiral flute configuration. It is sized for ICM insert seat size 6 and conforms to ISO 13399 standards. Machinists and tooling specialists working in metalworking and precision machining environments specify this insert for high-performance drilling applications.

This insert is built for drilling stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium as its primary workpiece materials, with secondary suitability for steel, cast iron, and hard materials. The ICM series is used in modular replaceable-tip drill body systems where only the cutting tip is changed, reducing tooling cost while maintaining consistent hole quality. It is suited for CNC machining centers and turning centers in job shop and production environments handling ISO material groups M, S, P, K, and H.

Key Features

• IC908 submicron solid carbide grade for toughness in difficult-to-machine alloys
• PVD TiAlN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• 140-degree included angle with web-thinned point for reduced thrust and improved chip formation
• T-Land cutting style with slow spiral flute geometry for controlled chip evacuation
• Twist-lock insert holding method for repeatable seating in ICM drill bodies
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for CAM and tool management integration

Compatibility

Designed as a replaceable tip insert for ICM-series modular drill bodies using insert seat size 6, ISO number ICM 064. Compatible with primary workpiece materials coded M, S (stainless steel, superalloys, titanium) and secondary materials coded P, K, H (steel, cast iron, hard materials).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians familiar with modular replaceable-tip drill systems. The machine spindle must be stopped and the tool de-energized before tip removal or seating. Use the manufacturer-specified torque wrench and insert key for the twist-lock interface to ensure proper seating without over-torque. Inspect the drill body seat for wear or debris before installing a new tip to maintain runout and hole quality specifications.
