Abstract:

An elongated non metallic cylindrical tubular member is provided and adapted to be received in the feed tube of a bar feeding machine. The cylindrical member is provided with an inside diameter sufficient to receive bar stock therethrough and functions to cushion the impact of the bar against the feed tube thereby reducing the sound levels produced by the machine. The tubular member includes at least one end extending outwardly from one end of the feed tube and means mounted to the end of the tubular member to retain it in place.
