IS 8692 : Part 3 : 2007 /ISO 3338-3 : 1996 Cylindrical Shanks for Milling Cutters : Part 3 - Dimensional Characteristics of Threaded Shanks

NATIONAL FOREWORD

The Indian Standard (Part 3) which is identical with ISO 3338-3 : 1996 'Cylindrical shanks for millingcutters - Part 3: Dimensional characteristics of threaded shanks' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on there commendation of the Milling Cutters, Saws. Gear Cutting Tools and Broaches Sectional Committeeand approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1978 based on ISO 3338-1 : 1977 and ISO 3338-2 : 1977. Inorder to align with the latest version of ISO Standards, the revision of this standard was taken up andthe standard was revised splitting into two parts. Subsequently, the need was felt to adopt third part ofISO 3338-3 : 1996. With the adoption of the third part of ISO 3338, the standard has been splitted intothres Darts:

Part 1 Dimensional characteristics of plain cylindrical shanks

Part 2 Dimensional characteristics of flatted cylindrical shanks

Part 3 Dimensional characteristics of threaded shanks

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard withoutdeviatiorls. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards.Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they shouldbe read as 'Indian Standard'.
