Re: pic: 4 Inch Wheel Design

if you plan on hexing them (as you said you were) I would HIGHLY recommend roughing the hex while the wheel is on the CNC....

Having made hex broached wheels quite a few times, we have found if you rough the hex out with a .250 cutter, then use the broach, it is easier on the broach, and who ever is broaching....

For your design, it would also help orient the hex on all the parts....
