Depends on the axles, some of them are tough stuff to cut.

My friend is at it again. His friend has asked him to cut an axle. One
one end is a hub, on the other a spline (32 teeth), it's approximately
1-1/2" in diameter, and 42" long. They wish to cut approximately a foot
of length from this axle.

The questions are many, but how would YOU do it?

He's got a 13" Clausing lathe and a BridgePort.
