Helix Angle

To get good cutting conditions the threading insert has to be inclined into the toolholder at approximately the same angle as the helix angle of the thread.

The FourCut inserts has extra clearance on the flanks and therefore it is not so important to have correct helix angle. The standard toolholder has 2° helix angle and it is possible to make almost all threads with the same holder.



On the triangular inserts it is more important to have a similar helix angle on the toolholder as the thread. The standard toolholder has an anvil which gives 1,5° helix angle. If you need bigger or smaller, you just change the anvil.
