Thread Form Tooling

Dayton Progress introduces a new Thread Form tooling brochure.

Dayton Thread Form Punch & Die Button Units offer you a single-step method for punching and forming threads. Dayton Thread Form works by punching the hole, lancing the material, and cutting a helical spiral in the material to form the proper thread helix for the desired type of metal screw. Thread Form creates a complete self-locking fastening system that holds the screws more tightly with metal tension - thereby reducing vibration, cutting assembly costs, and increasing productivity.
