Re: Hex Shafts and Bearings

While it might be possible to do that for a while it is not a proper practice. Most teams turn down the ends of the hex shaft on a lathe so that it is round. There is also one other method which involves broaching bushings to the size of your hex and then putting that on the shaft to go in the bearing
