Palbit toolholders are designed to tilt the insert when seated in the toolholder (10º for external, 15º for internal tooling). This results in the differing flank clearance angles, based on the geometry a = arctan (tanØ/ 2 x tand) of insert. To ensure that the side of the insert cutting edge will not rub on the workpiece, it is most

important that the insert helix angle be correct - especially in profiles with small enclosed flank Where: a - flank clearance angle
