Compensation for the lead angle and tool relief angle

When the pitch is large or the screw diameter is small, the Thread angle Pitch P (large)

lead angle becomes large and the eff ective relief angle on the C

Pitch P (small) = lead advance flank side becomes small. In particular, this will Thread height 2 cause shorter life of the insert in the case of trapezoidal screw with small fl ank angle. It is ideal without any interference for the thread cutting insert to have an equal relief angle on both right and left. Replace the shim so that the rake face of insert faces Lead angle D
