How The Ohio Bar Is Made
The Ohio Bar is manufactured with 190,000 PSI steel, one of the best variants of steel for a multi-purpose exercise tool. Each shaft of this Barbell is ground and polished before machining, which permits the barbell to maintain an exceptionally smooth finish, whether it is coated with zinc, chrome or black oxide.
The knurling process is a form of art in the barbell industry. Up-to-date Haas machines are used for machining bar shafts and the knurling process has become an art in the manufacturing of these bars. Producers say that there is a certain “look and feel” that goes into the testing of every bar. The Rogue Ohio bar is offered in three finishes, which also impact the feel of the knurl. For example, black oxide is one of the finishes used. The steel treatment provides the best knurl feel and can be likened to a naked bar.
