Overview
ISO 3338-1:1996 defines the dimensional characteristics of plain cylindrical shanks used on milling cutters. The standard applies to shank diameters from 3 mm to 63 mm and covers both single-ended and double-ended cutters. Dimensions are given in millimetres and presented in associated figures and tables (see figure 1 and table 1 in the standard).
This part of ISO 3338 focuses on plain (smooth) cylindrical shanks and establishes a common basis for design, manufacture and inspection of milling cutter shanks to support interchangeability and consistent tooling performance.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: plain cylindrical shanks for milling cutters with diameters 3–63 mm; single- and double-ended cutters.
- Dimensional data: reference to figure 1 and table 1 for nominal dimensions presented in millimetres.
- Conformity notes: cross-reference to related documents where applicable (for example, compatibility notes with rotating tools standards such as ISO 237:1975).
- Standardization benefits: supports repeatable manufacturing, simplified quality control and compatibility across toolholders and tool manufacturers.
Keywords: ISO 3338-1:1996, cylindrical shanks, milling cutters, dimensions, plain shanks, interchangeability, manufacturing accuracy.
Applications
ISO 3338-1:1996 is directly relevant to:
- Tool manufacturers designing and producing milling cutters with plain cylindrical shanks who require standardized dimensions for production planning and tooling.
- Tooling engineers selecting cutters for machine tools where shank dimensions must match collets, chucks or holders.
- Quality and inspection teams verifying dimensional conformity to international standards to ensure interchangeability.
- Procurement and specification writers who include standard references in purchase orders and technical specifications to guarantee compatibility across suppliers.
Practical benefits include reduced tooling mismatches, clearer supplier requirements, and easier integration of cutters into existing machining setups.
Related Standards
- ISO 3338-2: Dimensional characteristics of flatted cylindrical shanks (covers flatted shank variants).
- ISO 3338-3: Dimensional characteristics of threaded shanks (covers threaded shank variants).
- ISO 237:1975: Rotating tools with parallel shanks - referenced for square shank conformity and related rotating-tool guidance.
For implementers, referencing ISO 3338-1:1996 alongside ISO 3338-2 and ISO 3338-3 ensures comprehensive coverage of cylindrical shank forms and supports consistent tooling ecosystems across manufacturing and maintenance operations.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
International organizations, govern-
represented on that committee.
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (I EC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter-
national Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 3338-l was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 29, Small too/s, Subcommittee SC 2, Drills, reamers, milling
cutters and milling machine accessories.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition
