The Advantage of Rolling Worm Forms

Instead of cutting or grinding threads, we roll threads using a cold-form process. There are many advantages to this.

• Longer thread life
• Higher thread strength
• Greater thread wear-resistance
• Material savings
• Faster, more efficient project completion ¹
