Thread rolling is an economical method of producing smooth precision threads at high production rates. Close tolerances are easier to maintain, threads are stronger, downtime for replacing tooling is minimized and the original accuracy of the setup is maintained on long runs.

The uniformity of rolled threads reduces inspection time to a minimum, resulting in considerable savings in those costs. Threads can be rolled close to the front and rear of shoulders, which many times will eliminate a secondary threading operation.
