I do a lot of prototyping work. I hate spending a lot of money for shafts that a highly accurate and overkill for slapping something together. I hate using tubing or round stock for shafts even more if I'm trying to fit bushings or bearings and they won't go on. These shafts (5/8") are about 0.010" under in diameter at 0.615". So, they are not high tolerance, but they will fit into bushings and bearings for mechanical devices that need not be highly accurate. It also gives you enough play for assembly for stuff like go-karts /wagons / etc. The shafts are not totally straight and I can see about 1/8" of bend just eyeballing it on a flat table. But, for the price, they are great for axles and pivots especially if you are cutting them down anyway. Just don't expect to do some high-tolerance machine work with them. Loc-Tite bearing retainer is your friend.

Make sure you have a good way to cut these rods to length needed.

these rods are a true 3/4 inch and pair perfectly with the Pillow Block Mounted Ball Bearing brackets I picked up. super snug fit, absolutely perfect for the steering rack and pinion set up on the Baja Bug build. I cant wait to get this installed. The price is great for this quality material. You cant go wrong.

Well, I have to admit they were as advertised. They were 36 inches long and a half inch in diameter. They didn’t advertise that they would be straight which they were not. The fact that they were not straight was a problem and made the items totally useless. If you’re looking something precise, this is not what you wanna buy.

Very nice
