roughbar

Roughbar is a term that appears in multiple, unrelated contexts, and as such there is no single, canonical definition. The most common usage is as a compound noun describing unfinished material stock in manufacturing or construction. In this sense, rough bar stock refers to a bar-shaped piece of material that retains rough surfaces or tolerances before finishing operations such as milling, turning, or grinding. The designation helps distinguish starting material from finished bars and from other forms of bar stock that have been processed or machined to specification.

Beyond manufacturing, roughbar may occur as a proper name in fiction, geography, or genealogy. In some works,

Because roughbar lacks a widely accepted, singular meaning, the intended sense is typically inferred from context.
