Re: [FTC]: Alternative to axles? Does hardening work?

In our problem area we used 3/8" d-shaft and bushings from McMaster Carr:

We drilled and reamed the Tetrix axle hubs and they worked pretty well.

Another trick (that we picked up on this forum) is to use flat point set screws:

These help quite a bit when the axle-hub joint is subjected to reversing loads.
