Hi guys,
In the continual pursuit of weight saving on my Superbike I am looking to make some titanium Gr 5 6AL-4V Wheel Axles.
The rear is 25mm OD and front 20mm OD each with a 4mm wall thickness.
Only solid rod is available to use as tube unfortunatley has a wall to thin(2mm)
The length of the rear axle is 360mm with 17MM ID My question is what is the best approach to successfully drill a 17mm hole right through I assume on the lathe but what tooling should be used?
The front will be 300mm long with a 12mm ID again similar approach?
Atm the axles are steel.
Many thanks:)
