So we have a new to us CNC lathe and boss wants to run 10 foot bars (mostly light stuff but up to 20 inch thick walled tubing). Planning on using a bar puller to advance stock so we started looking at new bar supports starting in the 5K area. Would it be feasible to buy an older, perhaps out of commission bar feeder and just use it strictly as a support? Caveats? Pitfalls? Anyone done this and have some war stories?
