• Shim Selection

f the pitch is large or the thread diameter is small, the thread lead angle will beome large and the effective clearance angle will become small. A A It is ideal to set the threading insert so the left and right clearance angles are equal. Shim In order to do this, it is necessary to choose the correct shim based on the Insert Insert machining thread pitch and effective diameter using the table below. ß°≒ Lead angle Shim 1 (ideal condition) ß°: Shim angle 2 Lead angle A-A cross-section

  • Shim Selection Procedure
  • Chose either right thread or left thread based on the table below.

  • It is standard for lead angle Y = 1.5° (SSTE type: YE3 , SSTI type: YI3 ) shim to come with SSTE type/SSTI type holders. Shims for β° = − 1.5°, − 0.5°, 0.5°, 2.5°, 3.5° and 4.5° are sold separately.
  • Shim for SSTI R1812M16 and SSTI R2016M16 is not necessary. (Standard tilt angle 1.5° already comes with the holder.)
