Re: Thunderhex and Thunderhex Bearings

Personally, I think dealing with Thunderhex being a little oversized is a lot easier than dealing with regular hex being oversized. At least with Thunderhex we can toss it on the lathe and take a couple thou off, and once you dial in the amount you need, it's pretty easy to run down an entire shaft. Heck, in the few cases where we feel a need to use solid hex (instead of Thunderhex with the hole in the middle), we turn it down to fit in thunderhex bearings. It's just easier to slide the shafts in and out of thunderhext than it is trying to get the shaft prperly aligned with the inner race of a hex bearing.
