Yes. So if REV gets their 8mm hex shaft stock from MMC it will not fit in a hole made using a 5/16" broach.
However, MMC is not the only source for hex shaft stock -- for example, FRC teams generally have a much easier time fitting hex shafts into broached holes if they buy their shaft stock from VEXPro.
So again, what is the actual size of REV's 8mm hex shaft?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
