■ Shim Selection
If the pitch is large or the threading diameter is small, the threading lead angle will
become large and the effective relief angle will become small. A A

It is ideal to set the threading insert so that both right and left relief angles are equal. Shim

Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate shim based on the thread pitch Insert T1 ≈ Lead Angle

For External Diameters: YE3-2P
T1=2.5°

② Locate the required threading "pitch". For Internal Diameters: YI3-3P For Internal Diameters: YI3-2P For Internal Diameters: YI3-1P

③ Locate the cell with the required "Effective Diameter" range.

④ Confirm the part no. at the "Shim" row above the corresponding

■ Infeed Method
The modified flank infeed is recommended for the SSTE Type/SSTI Type.
This infeed method, which features reduced chip curl diameters and stable chip control, can also decrease chipping on
trailing edges that often occurs in radial infeed machining. (1° is recommended for the modification angle.)
