Iscar 5568129 Replaceable Tip Drill 16mm 2 Flute

Product Description

The ISCAR 5568129 is a carbide replaceable tip drill in the FCP series, designed for precision hole making in metalworking applications. The tip is manufactured from solid carbide in the IC908 submicron grade and carries a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for extended tool life under demanding cutting conditions. With a 16.00mm (0.6220 inch) cutting diameter, a 140-degree drill point angle, and two straight flutes, this insert delivers consistent entry geometry and stable chip evacuation in ferrous materials. It is installed and serviced by machinists and toolroom technicians working on CNC or manual drilling operations.

The FCP 5568129 is suited for hole making, chamfering, and drilling operations in steel and cast iron as primary workpiece materials. Secondary material capability extends to stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The straight flute and flat point type make it well matched to short-hole drilling where rigidity and positional accuracy are priorities. The tip mounts via a clamp holding method and conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IC908 submicron grade tip for wear resistance in ferrous and hard materials
• PVD TiAlN coating process extends cutting life and supports dry or minimal-lubrication cutting
• 140-degree included angle flat point for accurate entry and reduced thrust force
• Two straight flutes with web-thinned geometry for improved chip flow
• Clamp insert holding method for secure, repeatable tip seating
• Conforms to ISO 13399 for interoperability with CAM and tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with FCP series replaceable tip drill bodies accepting ISO Number FCP 158 inserts with an insert seat size of 15. Compatible workpiece materials include steel (ISO P), cast iron (ISO K), stainless steel (ISO M), superalloys and titanium (ISO S), and hard materials (ISO H).

Installation Notes

Installation and tip changes should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel with the spindle locked out and the machine fully de-energized before handling. Use the appropriate torx or clamp key specified for the FCP body to seat the tip securely without overtightening. Confirm proper coolant and feed-rate settings for the workpiece material before commencing the cut, as this tip does not include through-coolant capability. Inspect the insert seat for chips or debris before each tip change to maintain runout tolerance.
