✔ Dimensional Tolerances – H10 - K12
✔ Bar Lengths – 2.4m - 13.1m (max)
✔ Turnaround – one - two weeks
What is Bar Peeling?
Bar peeling, also known as centreless bar turning, is a machining process that removes surface defects, decarburisation, and excess material from metal bars. This process involves feeding the workpiece through a rotating shaving head, effectively eliminating imperfections and producing a bright, smooth surface.
The process goes by many names in the industry ... also known as: Centreless Scalping, Shaving, Bar turning, Resizing, Skiving, Skinning or simply just 'peeling'.

Key Benefits of Bar Peeling:
-
Enhanced Surface Quality: The process removes surface cracks, oxide layers, and other imperfections, resulting in a polished bar with excellent roundness and surface finish.
-
Improved Dimensional Accuracy: Bar peeling achieves precise dimensional tolerances and geometric accuracy, making it ideal for applications requiring exact specifications.
-
Increased Production Efficiency: Compared to traditional turning methods, bar peeling is significantly faster, reducing cycle times and increasing throughput.
-
Versatility Across Materials: This process is suitable for a wide range of materials, including various carbon steels, spring steels, stainless steels, nickel-based alloys, titanium, and aluminium.
