I will be changing it to a 3/8" dead axle, keeping it as it is for now to allow an easier time when putting in different setups (i.e. sprockets, pulleys, gears)
The bottom miter gear will be a keyed 1/2" bore, and the rest of the shaft will be 1/2" hex.
Free speed is currently 15.89 ft/s with a 5.83:1 reduction. Will be reduced more if I change the top HTD pulleys to GT2. The weight will be posted once I add the rest of the parts.
