Uncommon Threads, the Keystone Threaded Products blog, is built on over a century of experience turning steel into strength. What started as a craft has become a legacy — and this blog is where we pass it on. Here, our roll threading history meets modern manufacturing insight.
Drawing on 100+ years of precision threading and custom machining craftsmanship and innovation, we’ll share our practical knowledge, threading industry trends, and engineering expertise to help builders, designers, and manufacturers work smarter.
Uncommon Threads is more than a blog — it’s a living record of precision, quality, and tradition.

Thread rolling at Keystone uses specific geometric tooling dies and constant high pressure hydraulic force to compress threads into a smooth rod.
Our customers’ reputation is an extension of ours. This is what drives our commitment to providing long-lasting quality products and value to you, our threaded rod customers.
