The only way to correctly thread rebar is by turning down, or milling the end of the rod so that it is the proper size and shape to be threaded. This is done by removing the outer layer of the bar until the diameter is equal to the deepest deformation on the bar, leaving a smooth surface to thread.
Why is rebar threaded?
Threaded rebar is used as an alternative anchoring method when securing sign structures, wind towers, structural steel, and other foundation applications. These rods are most commonly made from ASTM A615 Grade 75 rebar with a minimum yield strength of 75 ksi.
Can threaded rod be used as rebar?
No, threaded rod is like a long bolt, that nuts can attached to. Rebar isn’t machined to accept nuts, it’s rough to bond with concrete.
