Re: Lathing Hex Stock

I don't see why not. All it takes is a lathe, a qualified operator, and some time and energy.

We made a shaft for a small transmission for a FP motor by using 3/8" alumnium hex stock, and turning the ends down to 3/8" round to fit into bearings. We were able to get it concentric enough just using the 3 jaw chuck to hold the hex.
