Re: [FTC]: Custom Axles

Unless you are giving them away, I do not think it is legal for teams to do group orders for custom made parts.

Also, I advise keeping the axle OD matching the bronze flanged sleeve bearings of the Tetrix parts line, since these sleeve bearings are usually what is supporting shafts and axles, and what fits with the Tetrix channel.

For long shaft needs, you can get hardened shaft in .1875" and make that work by grinding flats where needed.

For shorter needs you can also get extra long 10-32 hardened socket
head cap screws and use them as shafts and axles
