Just wondering, one thing on my wishlist for next year would definitely be 36" hex shaft with a better flatness tolerance, but I understand if this is economically unfeasible.

Mike,

We just forgot it on the drawing. We were so focused on getting the Hex right, we didn't even think about specifying a flatness or straightness. Like I said before, the 3' shafts we had in stock were the remaining shafts from last year's purchase. Our new drawing has the straightness specified for our new purchase order. I am certain our supplier will push back on the straightness requirement for the 3/8" shaft, but at least the specification will make them pay attention to it.

Paul
