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! Renner

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?

What is the bore in the Pro Inertia Lite wheels? If the bore is .003 to .004 bigger than the axle it's fine. If it's .091 to .093 it's too much clearance. Maybe those axles were made for a mod class?
