Vision Precision Engineering provides thread rolling services in Langley Mill, near Nottingham, producing external screw threads using Fette thread rolling heads. Our production turning equipment supports enquiries for batch manufacture and repeat component requirements.
If you need rolled threads as part of a component manufacturing project, send us your drawing, material specification and quantities. Our team can assess suitability and discuss the machining operations required.
Thread rolling forms an external thread by pressing profiled tooling against a prepared blank. The material is displaced to create the thread shape, rather than removed by a cutting tool.
The process depends on a suitable combination of material, blank dimensions and tooling. Metals must have sufficient ductility to form successfully, while the starting diameter needs to suit the specified thread.
At Vision Precision Engineering, we use Fette thread rolling heads to produce rolled threads. Please include the full thread designation with your enquiry so we can review your requirements against available tooling and machine capacity.
For suitable components, thread rolling can offer several manufacturing advantages:
The practical benefits depend on the component design, material condition and production quantity. We can review your drawing to discuss whether thread rolling is appropriate for your project.
Our listed equipment includes:
This equipment supports the manufacture of turned components with threaded features. Contact us to confirm the thread sizes, materials and quantities suitable for your requirement.
Thread rolling forms a thread through material displacement, while screw cutting removes material to create the required profile.
The appropriate method depends on the material, thread specification, component geometry and order quantity. Available tooling and the preparation required also influence the manufacturing approach.
Vision Precision Engineering offers both thread rolling and screw cutting services. If your specification permits either method, include that information with your enquiry so we can assess the options.
A rolled thread is often one feature of a larger turned component. The blank diameter, shoulders, adjacent features and access for the rolling head all need consideration during manufacture.
By discussing your complete component drawing at the quotation stage, we can assess thread production alongside the other turning operations. This gives purchasing teams a clearer scope of supply and helps identify any requirements that need clarification before production.

I can’t recommend Vision Precision enough. After a blunder on my side I needed some steel pillars reducing in size, VP were great, advised on my options and within a couple of days I had everything sorted. Great service, knowledgeable and very professional. Will 100% use again in the future.
I came to Vision Precision with a small project on a tiny stainless steel part, which couldn’t be completed at 3 other engineering companies I’d gone to. It took Ian a quick look and he did the job with surgical precision in only a few minutes while I was waiting. Thank you! Highly recommended
Gave vision a tricky little job and it was completed effortlessly. First rate engineers highly recommend.
Great company managed to remove a sheared bolt from my custom flywheel which I made a pig ear of trying to remove. Can’t thank them enough, would highly recommend and use them again with a thought.
I reached out to Vision after finding them on google when searching for local machining services. They were quick to provide me with a quote and we’re patient with us refining component designs. They gave us a competitive price and had the first samples ready within a few weeks. Perfect quality and great service.

I found this Nottingham engineering company through word of mouth.
