PT internal threads have R design on their crests. The tap should cut threads with their thread rot. 2. On thread drawing non-full threads. If you are going to cut effective thread length ℓ., use the tap of long type. EG (STI) When Threads have When Threads do not have non-Full Threads the non-Full Threads Basic Diameter Position SPECIAL Remarks 1. Opening of Internal Thread (Face of workpiece) is Basic THREADS, Diameter Position. GAUGES Remarks 2. Effective Thread Length has 2 types: with non-Full Thread Type and without non-Full Thread Type. Remarks 3. Concerning bored hole shape, considering load on taps, taper bored hole is recommended. THREAD Remarks 4. Use the machines that has synchronized feed system in the MILLS case of taper bored hole. Remarks 5. When applying taper bored hole, by referring to values shown in columns 258, prepare the taper hole by using pipe reamer (1/16 taper). By referring to values shown in DIES columns 9 and 0, select the drill diameter before reaming by taking reamer’s margin into account. Remarks 6. When preparing straight bored hole, by referring to values shown in columns 9 and 0, select drill diameter. CENTER DRILLS Technical info 721
