Abstract: A swaging machine has a head with an axis of rotation and a plurality of holes spaced in a circular array concentric and parallel with the axis of rotation. Shafts extend from each of the holes, each shaft having a supporting portion located on the forward side of the head. Rollers are rotatably mounted to the supporting portions of the shaft, each roller having a conical exterior. A chucking member on the rearward side of the head is engaged by a rotary member to rotate the head. The rollers of the rotating head are brought into engagement with a cylindrical pipe, causing a tapered swaged section to be formed on the end of the pipe. The pipe is then threaded. The pipe is preferably of small wall thickness.
