Barfeeder Application
In order to be able to run the largest bar stock diameter with a barfeeder that uses a collet style pusher, the bar must be turned down. The Bar Champ with the Turn and Chamfer tool is the answer.
Chamfering the front of the bar with a 30 degree chamfer will also help ensure that the bar loads properly.
Other Applications
Weld Prep – Put a consistent chamfer on parts to be welded to allow the weld to penetrate and lay flat on the part.
Debur – Instead of using a hand grinder to debur your bar, put a concentric consistent chamfer on them. A safer and better way to remove the burrs and sharp edges.
Machining – Machine a chamfer, turn and chamfer or face faster than loading the bar into a standard lathe. No need for expensive supports since the bar does not rotate.
