A method of producing a mine roof bolt includes: providing a plurality of bars of a predetermined length, moving the plurality of bars along a conveyor and indexing the position of the plurality of bars, and passing a portion of each of the bars through a processing station, where the processing station comprises at least one of a header assembly, an extruder assembly, and a threading assembly. The method further includes processing a portion of each of the bars with the processing station. A system for producing a mine roof bolt includes a conveyor configured to index and transport a bar, a feed arrangement configured to continuously deliver bars to the conveyor, a processing station comprising at least one of a header assembly, an extruding assembly, and a threading assembly, where the processing station is positioned along the conveyor and configured to receive and process a portion of the bars.
