Iscar 5568163 Carbide Replaceable Tip Drill 0.780 in

Product Description

The ISCAR 5568163 is a carbide replaceable tip drill insert from the FCP series, designed for precision hole-making in ferrous and hard-to-machine materials. Manufactured from submicron solid carbide in grade IC908 and finished with a PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this tip delivers consistent performance in demanding drilling applications. It features a 0.780 inch cutting diameter, a 140-degree drill point angle, and a web-thinned, flat-bottom geometry for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust. Machinists and tooling technicians working in CNC machining centers install this replaceable tip as part of the ISCAR FCP modular drill system.

This drill tip is intended for use in production drilling operations where tool change speed and cutting-edge consistency are priorities. Primary workpiece materials include steel and cast iron (ISO material groups P and K). Secondary applications include stainless steel, super-alloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO groups M, S, and H). The slow spiral flute design and thinned point geometry are well suited for short-hole drilling cycles typical in component manufacturing environments. This tip mounts to a compatible FCP series drill body using a twist-lock holding method.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction in manufacturer grade IC908 for extended tool life in ferrous materials
• PVD TiAlN coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection at elevated cutting speeds
• 140-degree included angle with web-thinned, flat-bottom point reduces thrust and improves hole entry
• Slow spiral, 2-flute design promotes chip flow in short-hole and flat-bottom drilling applications
• Twist-lock seating into FCP series drill bodies allows rapid tip exchange without full tool removal
• Complies with ISO 13399 tooling data standards for integration with CAM and tool management systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with ISCAR FCP series modular drill bodies, insert seat size 19, ISO number FCP 198. Compatible with drill bodies configured for the FCP replaceable tip platform.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before seating or removing the tip, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Use the appropriate ISCAR torque key for the twist-lock interface — do not use impact tools or improvised wrenches on the tip seat. Inspect the insert pocket and seating surfaces for chips or debris before installing a new tip to ensure proper seating and runout performance.
