    In most cases chamfering the lathe side of the bar is required and with spindle rotation at approximately 50rpms. Material should be relatively straight and clean. A chamfer on the leading bar edge is highly recommended. While bent stock will not necessarily cause problems within the lathe spindle while turning, it may prevent loading if bar condition is such that the bar collides with the back of the lathe spindle or it binds while feeding into the spindle.
