THREAD ROLLING IS THE PREFERRED METHOD TO PRODUCE STANDARD THREADED FASTENERS, BUT WITH SMALL VOLUMES, LARGE DIAMETERS OR SPECIAL PROFILES, THREAD CUTTING IS THEN THE ALTERNATIVE METHOD
Advantages of Roll Threading
- Less labour times for lower costs.
- Smaller body diameter = less weight for cheaper shipping, coating etc.
- Cold working means they're more resistant to damage.
- Rolled threads smoother due to the rolling operation.
Advantages of Cut Threading
- Less limitation for diameter and thread length.
- All specifications can be manufactured.
