Re: lead screw or all thread

There are different types of threaded rod. Threads can be made by
cutting the material away by using a die head. Threads can also be
made by using a roll form. Roll formed threads tend to be stronger
and more accurate than cut threads. Ballscrews are the best option
for CNC applications.
