Abstract
A method of processing a piece of bar stock material having spaced ends and a predetermined diameter and including the steps of: attaching an adaptor to one end of the piece; directing the piece into a feeder sleeve bounding an internal passageway; moving the piece in the internal passageway from an upstream end toward a downstream end so as to expose a part of the piece for processing; performing at least one processing step on the exposed part of the piece; engaging a retrieval assembly with the adaptor; extending at least a part of the retrieval assembly into the internal passageway from a downstream end of the at least part of the retrieval assembly to a predetermined distance in an upstream direction; and with the retrieval assembly engaged with the adaptor, repositioning the retrieval assembly to thereby reposition the piece within the internal passageway.
