Default RE: 2-56 Control rod question

"cutting" a thread leaves "stress risers or failure points in the metal. A rolled thread is smoother and less stressfull on the metal especially on brittle materials.

When you run a die over a previously rolled thread you remove material and change what is called the "class of fit". This explains the loose condition.
