Assembly lead-ins
Specify the entry edge needed where a bar or pin will meet another component.
Bar chamfering
Bar ends,
made to fit.
A small feature can make a difference at the next operation. Prepare one or both bar ends to the chamfer size, angle, and edge condition your drawing requires.
Bar-end preparation
Give the next step
the right starting edge.
Chamfering creates an angled edge where the end face meets the outside of the bar. The detail may provide a lead-in, address an edge requirement, or prepare the bar for a later manufacturing operation.
K-O reviews the end detail alongside the bar diameter, length, and material condition. We can connect chamfering with cutting and grinding so the entire bar specification stays in view.

End-condition requirements
Define the chamfer and burr requirements at the cut end instead of leaving the edge condition open to interpretation.
Prepared for production
Include end details in the same inquiry as length, diameter, finish, and delivery requirements.
What to include
Small details.
Clearly defined.
A sketch or drawing is the best way to identify the finished edge. Include all dimensions needed to distinguish the chamfer from the end face and overall length.
- Chamfer geometry
- Required angle and size, with the drawing convention or dimension that defines the feature.
- End identification
- One end or both ends, whether the details match, and any orientation or marking requirement.
- Bar specification
- Material grade and condition, outside diameter, overall length, and their required tolerances.
- Finished condition
- Edge and burr requirements, surface restrictions, inspection needs, quantity, and delivery schedule.
From bar to finished end
Keep the end detail
in the full process plan.
The finished length, diameter, and edge geometry should work together. The order of operations is reviewed for the part.
Establish the geometry
Confirm which ends need preparation and the size, angle, and tolerance of each feature.
Connect cutting and grinding
Review how chamfering fits with the specified cut length, ground diameter, and surface condition.
Check the finished details
Include the end condition and required dimensions in the agreed quality and packaging plan.

Before you
send the inquiry.
Can the two ends have different chamfers?
Include each end detail separately on your drawing. K-O reviews the required geometry, tolerances, and identification as part of the inquiry.
Is chamfering the same as deburring?
Chamfering creates an angled edge with a defined geometry. Deburring addresses unwanted material at an edge. If you need both a dimensioned chamfer and a burr requirement, specify both.
Can chamfering be included with a grinding order?
Yes. Share the end details along with the material, finished diameter, length, and surface requirements so K-O can review the combined processing plan.
