Axels

[MRClark]

You shouldn’t be shattering the dremel cutting discs. Chances are when you are cutting something you start cut on an angle and at some point bend the blade. Make sure you don’t bend the blades cause they will break as you are experiencing.

I know about that, and i am cutting on an exact strait angle, but the blades are really cheep disk, prolly s $2.50 for 36 container
and it prolly also doesn’t help that i am cutting that kind of metal

hmmm, you may have a problem with that idea. other people have had the same idea as buying square bar stock from home depot or such stores, but the thing is, those .125" square bars are completely square, unlike the vex axles whose corners are rounded slightly. even a very small change makes the axles virtually useless since the collars do not fir on them.

use a grinder to round the edges, what size are the axles so i can buy some at home depot (no way im paying more shipping fees, from usa to canada)

i wish there were a few 1" axles for 1 gear with a couple collars because when i have a big drivetrain my axles are always getting in the way of the wheel:mad:
