Let \(S\) be a CSM-helicoidal surface \(S\) i.e. a helicoidal under cubic screw motion. If \(S\) is of type \(I\), the first and the second fundamental forms \(I\) and \(II\) of \(S\) are given by \(I = 2 f' du^{2} + 2 hf' du dv + u^{2}dv^{2}\) and \(II = |D|^{-1/2}\left[u f'' du^{2} + 2 hf' du dv + (h^{2}f' - u^{2})dv^{2}\right]\), where \(D= EG-F^{2}=2u^{2}f'-h^{2}f'{}^{2}\) and the prime denotes derivative with respect to \(u\). If \(S\) is of type \(II\), the first and the second fundamental forms \(I\) and \(II\) of \(S\) are given by \(I = du^{2} + 2 hf' du dv -2h u dv^{2}\) and \(II = |D|^{-1/2}\left[-h f'' du^{2} + 2 h du dv + h^{2}f'dv^{2}\right]\), where \(D= EG-F^{2}=-2hu - h^{2}f'{}^{2}\) and the prime denotes derivative with respect to \(u\). The authors show that, locally, a CSM-helicoidal surface S of type \(I\) \[ r(u, v) = \left(u +h v, u v + \frac{hv^{2}}{2}, f(u) - \frac{u v^{2}}{2}- \frac{hv^{3}}{6}\right) \] is isometric to the one-parametric rotation surface \(S_{r}\) \[ r(u, v) = \left(u/c, u( v + h\int\frac{f'}{u^2}du), c\left[f(u) - \frac{h^{2}}{2}\int\frac{f'{}^{2}}{u^2}du- \frac{u}{2}(v+ h\int\frac{f'}{u^2}du)^{2}\right]\right), \] so that helices on the helicoidal surface correspond to parallel circles on the rotation surface, where \(c\) is a positive constant. Moreover, when \(c=1\), \(S\) is isometric to rotation surface \(S_{r_0}\) \[ r(u, v) = \left(u, u( v + h\int\frac{f'}{u^2}du), f(u) - \frac{h^{2}}{2}\int\frac{f'{}^{2}}{u^2}du- \frac{u}{2}(v+ h\int\frac{f'}{u^2}du)^{2}\right). \] Likewise, a CSM-helicoidal surface of type \(II\) S with pitch \(h<0\) \[ r(u, v) = \left(h v, u + \frac{hv^{2}}{2}, f(u) - u v - \frac{h v^{3}}{6}\right) \] is isometric to the one-parametric rotation surface \(S_r\) \[ r(u, v) = \left(\sqrt{-2h u}/c, \sqrt{-2hu}\left( v -\int\frac{f'}{2u}du\right), c\left[ g_{1}(u) - \frac{\sqrt{-2hu}}{2}\left(v-\int\frac{f'}{2u}du\right)^{2}\right]\right), \] so that helices on the helicoidal surface correspond to parallel circles on the rotation surface, where \[ g_{1}(u) = - \frac{\sqrt{-2h}}{3h} u^{3/2} - \frac{\sqrt{-2h}}{4}\int u^{-1/2}f'{}^{2}du, \] and \(c\) is a positive constant. Moreover, when \(c=1\), \(S\) is isometric to the rotation surface \(S_{r_0}\) \[ r(u, v) = \left(\sqrt{-2h u}, \sqrt{-2hu}\left( v -\int\frac{f'}{2u}du\right), g_{1}(u) - \frac{\sqrt{-2hu}}{2}\left(v-\int\frac{f'}{2u}du\right)^{2}\right). \]
