Short thread undercut for external threads (used when space is limited). Form C: Thread run-out for external threads. Add a thread undercut - PTC Support Portal
Standard DIN undercuts typically use blend angles of 30 or 60 degrees . Add a thread undercut - PTC Support Portal Standardization
On an engineering drawing, a thread undercut is typically specified with a clear callout such as DIN 76-1 Form A or DIN 76-1 Form B . This unambiguous instruction ensures that the machinist or supplier follows the correct standard.
: By providing a smooth radius in the undercut, it helps distribute mechanical stress, reducing the risk of fatigue failure at the thread-to-shank transition. Standardization
