What Bar Turning Does
Turning removes material from the outside diameter of hot-rolled or forged bar. Cut depth is selected to remove scale or surface discontinuities, establish machining allowance, improve roundness, and prepare the bar for polishing, grinding, heat treatment, or final machining.
Rough-turned bar retains stock for another operation. Turned-and-polished bar adds a finishing pass for a smoother surface. Starting diameter, cleanup allowance, finished diameter, tolerance, straightness, and surface limits determine the route.
