Material Cutting

Shaft Cut Guide

The overall length for the hex shafts does not need to be precise. Cutting to length with a hacksaw is acceptable if that is the only available option. However, cutting to length and then using a lathe to clean up both ends is the recommended method.

When cutting the slit on the “Falcon Direct Drive Shaft”, the slit needs to be cut from one point of the hex to the point on the opposite side. This is so the clamping collar can properly compress the shaft.
