A device and associated methodology for producing longitudinal components of metal with helical grooves, in particular spiral drill bits or screws, is provided. The method is suited for mass production and improves the cost effectiveness of production. The method includes providing at least one cold forming stage in which a blank is inserted in a guide mold and cold formed in a split mold with at least two movable jaws. The inner wall of the jaws includes at least one section with a contour designed as a negative of the helical grooves. By a heading tool which is movable in axial direction and which engages the free end of the blank positioned in the guide mold, the blank is pressed at least partially through the central opening of the closed split mold. Thus, helical grooves are produced during the contact with the mold contour by plastical cold forming. |
