Tench charges $200 for axle (any size) , nuts , bearings and shipping from UK to Au.
Its reasonable but still allot.
He quoted $160 without nuts or bearings. So if it took me all day to make an axle I'd have a bit of budget left for shipping.
Thanks to Snowchyld for showing me the bolt on mill adaptor for the seig lathe. Should be all set up to go for about $1100
I don't really have the money right now but I'll be buying that setup instead of buying axles from now on. Also need a hydrolic press. I'm tempted to try again at making one but after the last failed attempt I'm a bit shy.
