I,ve machined Titanium.
Had to shorten an imported Prince Albert thingy for a mate ::)
Didn,t like to touch it in case it was second hand :o but it machined up real nice. :)

If making a new shaft you can also consider making it to suit readily available seals if applicable.

You could consider 1020 mild steel which can be bought as hollow bar. This makes it easier to bore out the middle if any.


2 mighty fine ideas right there.
