The Thread Rolling Team at Fastco is responsible for rolling threads, knurls, and/or fetters onto cold headed blanks.

What is Thread Rolling?

The threads form when dies press against cold headed blanks. The same process is used for knurling.

Thread rolling is the most efficient and cost effective for large production runs, since machine run rates are around one piece per second. Benefits of the rolling threads include:

• No fine metal chips.
• Material savings of 15-20% in the blank by weight.
• Stronger, more accurate threads
