 Program Notes:

ANSI, ASA, & SAE 1950:

Step 1: Enter only 1 thru 4 in the first box, the second box (DS dash #) should be left blank.
Step 2: Enter 1 or 2.
Step 3: Enter 1 thru 4 in the first box for the fit type. The second box applies only for
SAE 1950, and only for a major or minor fit type, otherwise leave it blank.
Step 4: Enter 1 or 2 for ASA, 4 thru 7 for ANSI, or 8 thru 10 for SAE 1950.
Step 5: Enter in the appropriate box the desired number of teeth, diametral pitch and
pressure angle. Leave the box for nominal diameter blank, it applies only for J500.

SAE J500

Step 1: Enter 5 in the first box, the second box (DS dash #) should be left blank.
Step 2: Enter 1 or 2.
Step 3: N/A, leave blank.
Step 4: N/A, leave blank.
Step 5: The ONLY required box to enter is the nominal diameter. It may be entered as a
decimal or a fraction. A space must be left between whole numbers and fractions.
Example: 1 (space bar) 3/4. Otherwise it will be read as 13/4 (Thirteen fourths).

NAS

Step 1: Enter 6 in the first box, the second box (DS dash #) should be left blank.
Step 2: Enter 1 or 2.
Step 3: N/A, leave blank. (all NAS have a fillet root)
Step 4: N/A, leave blank.
Step 5: Enter in the appropriate box the desired number of teeth, diametral pitch and
pressure angle. Leave the box for nominal diameter blank, it applies only for J500.

DS

Step 1: Enter 7 in the first box, enter the dash number in the second. Dash numbers
range from 306 thru 406 for DS360(EXT), and from 06 thru 106 for DS361(INT).
Step 2: Enter 1 or 2.
Steps 3 thru 5: N/A, leave blank. (N, DP, and PA are determined by the dash #)
