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.
Centerless grinders play a critical role at Keystone. We use them to literally grind away surface material to achieve the correct diameter before thread rolling.
