Re: Hex Shaft Wear Experiences
With 7075 hex shafts, and 6061 wheels with about 5/8" maybe length-through-bore, we've experienced no wear issues. The key is to make sure your broached hole and hex shaft are a rather close fit. I've noticed some of the AndyMark ones are a little loose, but I would not be concerned about them rounding out.
