RADIAL INFEED FLANK INFEED (modified) ALTERNATE FLANK INFEED
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
angles. This correction is provided by Palbit anvils. d - Tilt angle Ø - Enclosed flank angle CALCULATING THE HELIX ANGLE (b) FORMULA
The helix angle is calculated by the following formula: b - Helix angle (º) P - Pitch (1/TPI) N - No. of starts D - Pitch diameter (mm) Lead = P x N TPI = Threads per inches The helix angle can also be found using the diagram below
