ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to dies and the method for making dies for rolling threaded fasteners having conical or truncated conical ends. The face of each of a pair of dies which contacts the workpiece includes a first generally planar surface having a plurality of parallel ridges disposed thereon. A second generally planar surface having ridges thereon for threading the conical or truncated conical end is disposed on the face at an angle with respect to the first generally planar surface. The face on which the two generally planar surfaces are disposed is normally generally rectangular and elongated in the direction of relative movement between a pair of dies. The intersection of the two generally planar surfaces and each groove or ridge disposed on each such surface is positioned in parallel realtionship to every other ridge or groove and the intersection of the first and second generally planar surfaces. Each ridge disposed in a plane which is parallel to the first plane and the projection is disposed at an angle with respect to the direction of movement which is substantially equal to the helix angle of the threaded fastener to be formed. These angular relationships permit the rapid and inexpensive manufacture of dies for threaded fasteners of the type described by enabling cutting or grinding of the entire face with a multipoint cutting tool or a crushed grinding wheel in a single pass as opposed to prior art structures which necessitated the use of single point cutting tools or correspondingly shaped grinding wheels which machined or ground a single groove between adjacent ridges in each machining pass.
