Machining my own axles is something I have been experimenting with. I've been machining splined steering shafts and have been looking at making some axles next. I've been talking with a heat treating company that does a lot of work for the V8 super car teams. I'm looking into finding a source of suitable material. I can get 4130 and 4330 and I've been looking into 300M and Vasco but I reckon 4330 might be the best choice for price versus strength.

I probably won't have anything developed in time to help you with your project but it's something I'm trying to add to the Murphy Engineering arsenal.

Cheers
