After much practice I finally have my axle prep technique down so that I can make consistently "good", straight and trued axles. From what I have found, a raw BSA axle is around .087" to .088" diameter. When I am done polishing, they are around .082" to .084".
What have you found is the minimum finished axle diameter that still minimizes any racing wobbles? Do you have a rule of thumb you go by?
Thanks!

The rules I have read that have a minimum OD is .084.

Bigger is better. Your removing to much material plus most rules the axles must not be smaller than .084.

I just ordered Derby Worx grooved speed axles. Each axle measures about .082 before polishing. These axles are skinny in the grooved section! What should I do? If bigger is better, then why does Derby Worx sell these axles with such a small diameter? I am going to use the Pro Inertia Lite wheels. Any suggestions?
