Short answer: Threads are cut by single-point turning, tapping (internal), die (external) or CNC milling — removing material to form the helix — as an alternative to thread rolling that displaces metal. Cutting suits one-offs, hard materials and internal threads; rolling suits high-volume external threads with stronger, burnished roots. The choice balances strength, volume and the material’s hardness.
