Iscar 5567963 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.524 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5567963 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the HCP-IQ series, designed for precision hole-making in ferrous and hard materials. The cutting tip is manufactured from submicron-grade solid carbide with an IC908 manufacturer grade and a TiAlN PVD coating for wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. The drill features a 0.524-inch cutting diameter, a self-centering 134-degree drill point, a slow spiral flute configuration, and a web-thinned geometry that reduces thrust load at entry. A licensed HVAC, plumbing, or electrical contractor is not the intended installer — this tool is used by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators in metalworking environments.

The 5567963 is suited for drilling steel and cast iron as primary workpiece materials, with secondary capability in stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials. The P and K ISO material group classifications confirm its fit for production and job-shop drilling applications where consistent hole quality and tip interchangeability are required. The replaceable tip design allows the carbide cutting head to be swapped without removing the drill body from the spindle, reducing changeover time in high-volume operations.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade IC908 solid carbide tip with TiAlN PVD coating for extended tool life in steel and cast iron
• Self-centering 134-degree drill point eliminates the need for a center drill in most setups
• Web-thinned geometry reduces axial cutting force and improves chip formation at entry
• Slow spiral flute design promotes controlled chip evacuation in deep or interrupted cuts
• Replaceable tip interface (HCP-IQ series, Insert Seat Size 13) allows fast tip swaps without full tool replacement
• Conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards for compatibility with CAM and tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with HCP-IQ series drill bodies accepting Insert Seat Size 13 replaceable tip holders. ISO number HCP 133-IQ. Compatible workpiece materials include steel and cast iron (ISO P and K material groups) as primary applications, and stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO M, S, and H groups) as secondary applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of replaceable carbide tip drills should be performed by qualified machinists following the spindle manufacturer's toolholder torque and runout specifications. Ensure the drill body and tip seating surfaces are clean and free of chips before engaging the tip. Do not exceed the recommended speed and feed parameters published by ISCAR for the IC908 grade and the specific workpiece material being drilled. Coolant-through is not supported on this configuration; external coolant or MQL should be directed at the cutting zone when machining heat-sensitive alloys.
