I stopped at a blacksmith shop in Oklahoma in the late 70's and the ole boy there was using an old worn out pipe thread cutting machine to twist his rod. Nice slow motor and did a nice job on various sizes of steel. With the big chuck he had on there. He did both hot and cold twisting. Hot for tight twists and cold for window bars.
