A lathe or mill is definitely the way to go, but i haven't noticed any unusual wear yet.

Yeah, I was actually going to order it from BMI. The axle I just installed came to me in great condition, and I am rather impressed for the cost. They have some shorter lengths available, too. Too bad I need to order so much from surplus supply, the shipping costs between the two are going to kill me, lol.
