THREADING Threading Pitch (mm) Threading Pitch (thread/inch) Threading Pitch (mm) Inclination Angle ('°)Threading Pitch (thread/inch) THREADING CUTTING CONDITIONS OF MMT SERIES SELECTING A SHIM FOR THE MMT SERIES Lead Angle (%°) y FLANK ANGLE AND LEAD ANGLE Lead angle (%) depends on a combination of thread diameter and pitch. Select a shim so that the lead angle of the thread can coincide with the flank angles of the thread and insert ($1, $2). No need to change a shim for general threading with an MMT holder. When threading with a small diameter or large pitch, change the shim depending on the lead angle, referring to the table and graph below. When threading left hand threads,change to a shim with a negative inclination angle.
