Re: Hex Shafts and Bearings
If any of you live near a community college that has a machining program, contact them and see if they will help with minor machining, such as rounding off the end of a hex shaft. Our local CC was delighted to help us put several of our #35 sprockets on a diet to save weight. They even gave me the mandrel they made in case we needed to do it again.

I've also had a local machine shop turn down some shafts for free.
