Remove the insert to expose the shim.

Remove the shim and mount a different shim that matches the lead edge angle.

Tighten the shim set screw. (Recommended Tightening Torque 1.0 to 1.5N·m)

Loosen the shim set screw by one to two turns.

· Performs threading without machining thread ridges (the machined surface from the previous process is left unworked.) · Enables machining of threads with different pitch widths with the same insert · Finishing of the internal (or external) diameter is required before the threading process. · Fine burrs are easily formed on edges of ridges

· Enables machining of workpieces into shapes compliant with thread standards · Only specic thread specications and pitch can be machined · In order to nish a thread with the wiper edge, a nishing allowance of 0.1mm on each side is required · Edges of ridges can be rounded off.

■ 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.)
