Threading & Boring Project Step 2 A Groovingthe Mechanic

All thread rods are produced two ways, depending on the availability of the diameter and grade. Common grades include ASTM A307 Grade A, A193 Grade B7, and several others through 2” in diameter. These common grades and sizes will typically be cut to size and finished from longer, mass-produced all thread rod. Odd grades and diameters will need to be manufactured from scratch. Both procedures are covered on this page and in our All Thread Rod Video.

  1. Define threading. Threading synonyms, threading pronunciation, threading translation, English dictionary definition of threading. Fine cord of a fibrous material, such as cotton or flax, made of two or more filaments twisted together and used in needlework and the weaving of.
  2. The below cnc program code is the typical format which a cnc machinist use while programming threading with G76 threading cycle. N5 G76 P010060 Q100 R0.05 N6 G76 X30 Z-20 P1024 Q200 F2 Depth of First Pass. With Q parameter in second-block of G76 threading cycle you can change the threading depth of First-pass of threading operation.

Thread definition, a fine cord of flax, cotton, or other fibrous material spun out to considerable length, especially when composed of two or more filaments twisted together. Hyper-Threading, an Intel technology, divides a physical core of a CPU into two logical cores, executing an additional, concurrent set of instructions to increase performance. With a computer forum, a thread or threaded discussion consists of an original message or post and each of its corresponding responses. For example, in a newsgroup.

Cut-to-Length All Thread Rod

Step 1: Cut All Thread Rod to Length

Threading & Boring Project Step 2 A Groovingthe MechanicThreading & Boring Project Step 2 A Groovingthe Mechanic

When specific lengths are required for a project, bolt suppliers will cut longer lengths of all thread rod into shorter pieces from all thread rod that has been mass-produced. Cutting is performed with a band saw.

Step 2: Chamfer Ends

Since all thread rod can easily get damaged during the manufacturing, handling, and shipping of an order, most manufacturers will chamfer the all thread rod ends to ensure that a nut will spin on without issue. Chamfering is a process where the rod is slightly beveled on the end by a machine that acts similar to a pencil sharpener. This beveled end allows for a nut to spin onto the all thread rod easily and prevents the potential issue of having a damaged first thread.

Step 3: Grade Identification

Most all thread rod requires a permanent grade symbol and manufacturer’s identifier on one end of each rod. One exception is ASTM F1554, which requires color coding unless a permanent grade identifier and/or manufacturer’s identifier is requested under the supplemental requirement. SAE J429 Grades 2, 5 and 8 all thread rod requires no grade marking. A hydraulic stampling machine applies these permanent identifiers after the rods have been cut and chamfered.

Nonstandard Grades

Some grade and diameter combinations of all thread rod are not mass-produced due to lack of usage. In these instances, all thread rod is “made from scratch”.

Step 1: Cut Round Bar to Length

Steel round bar measuring 20′, 24′, or 40′ in length is band saw cut or sheared to a length a few inches longer than the desired finished product.

Step 2: Cut Thread

Instead of rolling the thread as mass-producers do, most nonstandard all thread rod is threaded by cutting the threads into steel round bar. Instead of pitch diameter steel being extruded to form the threads as in roll threading, cut threading chasers remove steel from full-size round bar to form the threads. This method of threading is slower and more time consuming than roll threading, resulting in higher manufacturing costs. This form of threading is primarily used for specialized grades and large diameters of all thread rod which are not mass produced or available off the shelf.

Step 3: 2nd Cut

When pieces of round bar are fed into the cut threader, they must be held by a few inches on the end of the rod. Since there is no way to cut threads all the way to the end of the round bar, it must be cut off after threading is complete. Second cutting is performed with a band saw.

Step 4: Chamfer Ends

Ends are chamfered as described above.

Step 5: Grade Identification

Ends are marked as described above

Packaging and Shipping

The final step in any manufacturing sequence is packaging the order and shipping it out to the customer. It is important to use high-quality packaging materials, especially with all thread rod, to ensure the product arrives to the job site intact and free of any damage. Because all thread rods can be easily damaged in transit, it is important to make sure the manufacturer uses the best packaging methods to take care of the all thread rod. Commonly, all thread rod in lengths longer than 6′ are shipped in thick, reinforced cardboard tubes.
