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.

Thanks.

Its called 5 minutes on a tool and cutter grinder or a couple attempts
on a belt sander

Or 15 minutes with a vise and a file or two?

That too.

Btw...I dont have ANY round nose endmills. I started digging out
endmills last night and I found those heavy assed boxes were mostly
lathe tooling under a couple inches of endmills. I have maybe 50 lbs
of endmills at most. I was rather disappointed. Granted..there are
more than Ill ever use..and most are sharp....but there were no
"specialty" mills. Ive got endmills from about 1/8" cut up to 1.25"
diameter cut ..with most being 3/8-1/2" 2 and 4 flutes with a
significant number of 3 flute roughing endmills. I know I
transported a good 500 lbs of additional endmills to his new
shop...and I get first dibs on all of his surplus...so with luck Ill
be able to score some ball nosed mills and in fact..emailed him
requesting any he doesnt need anymore.

On a positive note....
I did find a good 30 lbs of new or nearly new lathe inserts..a good
many of which will fit my older toolholders (Praise Be!!) that Ive had
kicking around for lack of inserts to put in them. This along with at
least 200 lbs of HSS and cemented carbide lathe tooling both new and
used. Ive got enough HSS to never have to need another piece for the
shaper, ever again...or my grandkids.....

Now Im going to have to yet again...rearrainge the drawers in my
Simplicity pattern cabinet. Ive had the space to mix mill and lathe
tooling in a couple drawers. No more.

The above photos from 2012..no longer apply...now Ive got so much
tooling Im going to have to move stuff completely out of it and into
other cabinets...sigh. And my jig/fixture cabinets..same thing there.
Wish I could find another Simplicity cabinet..I really..really need
another one!!!

Fortunately..I managed to snag a goodly number of cabinets..Including
a Stanley Vidmare (4 shelf..not drawers damnit..sigh).

Oh...got to post another "what is it"...new post..
