What is it called? Part beveled rod? Part double beveled rod?

It's the inner part of a cordless drill spindle, the part that
slides into the gearbox. The shiny area is ordinary round rod. The
dark area is beveled on both sides.

Details...

9.0 mm, diameter of the shiny round rod part. 8.8 mm, where the
beveling starts, the diameter of the round rod is decreased. 6.8
mm, from one beveled side to the other. It's beveled 1 mm on each
side.

I might use it, but there's not much to work with.

It's CALLED "custom internal part of a cordless drill". You can buy
all of them you want from the manufacturer of the cordless drill

No, I can't, because I need a longer rod.

It's not a complex part. It's just a rod with flats on one end.

I would think that somebody like McMaster Carr sells them, but I
wanted more information like "flats" before researching it.

Those flats are custom-designed

But seriously. They are flats just like any other flats. Anybody can
tell that much.

They probably have a length and a span made specifically for that
application. It doesn't seem to be close to a fractional inch
equivalent.


for the drive scheme of that drill.

Drive scheme? But seriously. I'm talking about rod with flats on one
end.

The flats apparently are for driving the chuck, or some intermediate
component. Is it a very tight fit, or can you easily slide it out? How
is the rod with the flats held in place?


It seems unlikely that you'll find some generic part to replace it

You just might be right. Good luck!
