# 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](/welcome/greyt/greyt-shooter-9.5/general-info/notes.md)”, 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.
