A machine for making concrete reinforcing bars, known as rebars, from wire stock having a round cross section. A preform roller station cold works the round cross section of the wire stock into the shape of a polygon. A first form roller station cold works the polygonal cross section into a cross section having a central core and radial fin members extending therefrom. A second form roller station further reduces the diameter of the central core, and further increases the radial extent of the fin members. A third form roller station reduces the core still further, and again increases the radial extent of the fins, imparts shoulder members that provide an anti-longitudinal slip function at preselected intervals along the extent of the rebar, and roughens the rebar. |
