If the rod has been ground or polished beyond cold-finishing
Further working such as grinding would move the product to this heading for bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel, otherwise worked.
If the guide rod is presented as a specific part of a linear motion system
If the rod is shaped or fitted for a particular machine, it may be classified as a part of machinery under Section XVI.
