In particular, this will Thread height Pitch P (small) = leadcause shorter life of the insert in the case of trapezoidal screwwith small flank angle. It is ideal without any interference for theC 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 the thread groove direction (that is, β = β3).Calculating the lead angle Flank (large)Lead angle (small)α D The lead angle is calculated as follows: β = tan-1(R/πd) = tan-1(nP/πd) β:R: Lead angleLeadn : No. of threads Shim Insert θ E P : Pitch Toolholder d : Pitch diameter Calculating the relief angle P Threadgroove The relief angle β1 is calculated as follows:β1 = tan-1(tanθ •tanα) Pitchdiameter dSmall clearance(Possibility ofinterference)Lead anglecompensation Insert Fβ2Shim The α of a standard toolholder is 10˚ for external threadingand 15˚ for internal threading.Included angle2θθβ1External threading toolInternal threading toolβød(Pitchdiameter) β I–I cross section G 60° 30° 5.8° 8.8° 55° 27.5° 5.2° 7.9° 30° 15° 2.7° 4.1°29°14.5°2.6°4° πd H Accordingly, the effective relief angle is calculated as follows: β : Lead angle β2 = β1 + β3 - β β : Effective relief angle2β:Lead angle3compensation value I In other words, β1 = β2 when the thread lead angle is equal to the compensation value. Namely, the relief angle of the tool itself is equal to the effective relief angle. If the wrong compensation value is used, β1 > β2. The effective relief anglebecomes smaller and cause the interference between thefrank side of insert and the thread groove.
