thinking of buying this but those grooves look like they are cutting in pretty charp, is this a good bar ?

The angle of the picture makes the grooves in the bar look sharp. The shape of the bar is like other EZ curl bars. The two things that I do not like about this bar are the cramped dimensions and the knurled grip dose not cover the entire bar like other high quality EZ curl bars. It is a good bar to have around.

This is a curl bar desighned to take away the stress to the wrists while doing curls and presses as well, Ypo hold on either side of the curl.

The grooves meaning the bend of bar or the grip? Well the bend of the bar is a little bit deeper than my old one to me its like the middle is going into a "V" shape..it actually is weird when I use it on the preacher pad.. but u kinda make it work for u.. for wide grip its fine but close grip is a bit challenging because of the shape but I've seen all different styles of these ez curl bars.. its worth the money I think no complaints on this end.. the grip is great as well the cuts are deeper.. hope this helps

Hi Ellen,The board I got is nearly identical on the bottom, just without the channel you can clearly see in the product photo. There were no grooves or feet of any kind, just a completely flat surface. Definitely no feet for me - not attached, and not included in the packaging.We've been using this board for a while now and it's still perfectly flat, so it doesn't rock at all while cutting. We've not had any slippage issues, but your mileage may vary depending on what you're doing and how you use it.Hope that helps!

It is a good product. I'm satisfied with it. The bar is a little light but def worth the money.

As I'm simply not in a position to guarantee you the quality of the shipping, personally I wouldn't take a risk. Bar is truly amazing; it didn't arrive however in well secured box. My bar came with no damages nor any scratches

I'm going to guess probably. My molding is slightly damaged from use. I would imagine damage would be worse without any molding. I probably should have put a towel or something between the bar and the molding to prevent wear.

They are very smooth, and should buff up nicely, in my opinion. I recall the aluminum versions of these would have tiny grooves in them, from the way they were made.

maybe for a bit but it wont hold up over time doing that, spring for a more expensive bar would be my advice

well I would say no. I put the right side on in 10 min , on the left side I had to enlarge the holes a little bit to get it to fit right , it was not hard and was well worth it they are really nice looking bars and solid once on , so I would buy them again in a heart beat hope this helps , Todd

Matt I've been using it to cut Birch plywood and it seems fine but bogs down a bit. I think its the blade it came with because many people have said its poor quality. I'm planning to get a new one and see how it goes. Make sure to make a score cut on veneer plywood to avoid chip-out though. Also the track is in two sections and tends to move at the connection. Check your measurements well on long cuts. If I had the money for the name brand saws I would have bought one but I went in 50/50 with my father in law on this one. Don't get me wrong its good but you have to work within its limitations. Matt I've been using it to cut Birch plywood and it seems fine but bogs down a bit.

The side pictured has "Ka-bar" and "Olean, NY." stamped on it, but the opposing side has "U.S.A." with "1211" stamped underneath it. I just uploaded some pictures so you can get a better look. They are the ones with a wood grain table in the background. Remember that this 1095 carbon will rust, as it is not a stainless steel. Mine rusted within a few hours of sharpening. In the picture, you will see that I have it oiled pretty good.

I am not sure what aspect your questioning, but the bar is great. It can be low enough for children and even though it is soft touch, be mindful that it is metal. There is nothing cushy about this very stable bar.

I think so... what's great about it is that it's mate so you can build it up to your liking without it looking "muddy" and blend it out as well if you build it up too much. You'll love it!

Unless you plan to tap dance on it with steel-healed stilettos, I think you're safe. This table stood up to things being dropped on it, a TV that fell on it (long story) and just about any and all abuse that my household could possibly throw at it. Yes, it does have a few scuff marks, but they are barely noticeable and it has withstood all this for the past 8 or 9 months. I would not trade this table or the matching end tables for anything I have seen. They are tough and durable. In a pinch it also serves as extra seating, although it isn't very comfortable for that. Go for it...I do not think you'll be disappointed.

I'm seeing the same thing so it appears to be normal behavior. Here's that area from my knife, 2 months after moderate use: http://i.imgur.com/6YeplWF.jpg It looks worse than it is; if you run a point across the "gouge" it really isn't that deep.

This bar is identical to other olympic bars except it doesnt have center knurling. You shouldnt have a problem

slightly, not as much as the salsa woodchipper or midge bar. This bar is great for the price and has a respectable flex on big hits as to cushion some impacts.

Wish I could help, but I never received all the packages from Amazon and had to return it. Good luck, they looked like the best bars available.
