Iscar 5568155 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill Fcp Series

Product Description

The ISCAR 5568155 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert designed for high-productivity drilling operations in metal cutting applications. Built to the FCP series standard, this tip features solid carbide construction in the IC908 submicron grade and a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life. The insert geometry is type P with a 140-degree included angle and a thinned web point, reducing entry thrust and improving centering accuracy. With a cutting diameter of 0.736 inches and a functional length of 0.243 inches, this tip seats into compatible FCP series drill bodies at an 18mm insert seat size. Installation and replacement are performed by machining professionals in CNC turning, vertical machining center, and horizontal machining center environments.

This replaceable drill tip is suited for drilling steel and cast iron as primary workpiece materials, classified under ISO material codes P and K. Secondary applications include stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials, covering ISO codes M, S, and H. The slow spiral flute type and flat bottom style make it appropriate for through-hole and flat-bottom bore operations. It conforms to ISO 13399 tooling data standards, supporting digital tool management workflows common in modern production machining environments.

Installation Notes

Replaceable tip drill inserts of this type are installed by machinists or tooling technicians on powered-down and locked-out machine tools. The twist-style insert holding method requires proper seating and torquing per the drill body manufacturer's toolholder documentation. Inspect the insert seat for damage or chips before installing a new tip. Do not run the insert without confirming full and even seating in the drill body pocket.
