Blanking Dimensions are the final dimensions.

Extra material (cutting stock) is strongly recommended on the blanked piece in order to cut the full connection (thread, seal,
shoulder, W, D1, D2) in the SAME machining sequence.
When extra material (cutting stock) is not included, particular care shall be taken during the rechuck centering : concentricity
between chuck axis and piece shall be measured circularyand longitudinally (on MBEL or MBIL, MPEL or MPIL) by means of
the dial indicator.
Extra material (cutting stock) recommended value : 0,50 mm (0,020 inch) compared to radius
ConcentricityMax value : 0,10 mm (0,0039 inch).
Despite our best effort, VAM® Services cannot garanty that the blanking dimension are 100 %
correct. It is the role of the company in charge of machining the VAM® thread to ensure that the
blanking dimensions provided on the website are fully compliant with the VAM® thread. VAM®
Services shall not be held responsible if the Blanking Dimensions are not fully compliant.
