SEC-Threading Tools

SSTE/SSTI Type
Characteristics
Large-scale addition of high precision wiper edge inserts for threading.
Catering to a wide range of application requirements from general
industries and pipes to aerospace components.
Stable chip evacuation through use of a 3-D moulded breaker.
Flank faces of the cutting edges are polished to achieve high quality threads.

Polished flank faces around the cutting

edge achieve high quality threads.

Shim Selection
If a thread pitch is large or a pitch diameter is small, a thread lead angle becomes
A

large and the effective clearance angle on the leading edge becomes small.
Ideally, threading inserts should be mounted so that the clearance angles on both
right and left sides become equal.
For this reason, it is necessary to select an appropriate shim for the thread pitch
and pitch diameter by consulting the table below.

* SSTE Type/SSTI Type holders are shipped with a shim for a lead angle of 1=1.5 (SSTE Type: YE3, SSTI Type: YI3).
Shims for lead angles of 1=-1.5,-0.5, 0.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 are sold separately.
* Shims are unnecessary for SSTI R1812M16 and SSTI R2016M16. (The holders are already provided with the standard holder inclination of 1.5.)

Infeed Method
The modified flank infeed is recommended for SSTE Type / SSTI Type.
This infeed method, which features reduced chip curl diameters and stable chip control, can also decrease chipping on trailing
