OK I can see how you could cut the axle down with this machine. What I’m interested in is what happens after you make the cut? Do you re-spline the cut end or do you also cut off the hub and welded back on? I’m having a hard time picturing in my mind how your axle would remain an axle after being cut on your machine? If you’re just looking to cut the axle down to use the steel for other fabrication I understand.

Freehand cut splines using an angle grinder? Now I’ve seen everything. The amount of time I spent setting up my Bridgeport with an indexing head to cut my first set of splines was quite long. Just sourcing the correct endmill was a chore. If someone told me they could the job freehand with an angle grinder I would have had some choice words for them. I’m having trouble believing my own eyes. Nice work my fellow craftsman.
