Maybe it could save you a ton of time and machining cost if you were to drill/bore that hex stock ID to press fit onto a 14MM shaft and then weld it. I'd leave the pressed in long portion a few MM's short of the end of that hex stock so you could weld it up solid then grind it flat and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Then you could just cut to length and chuck up the 14MM shaft stock (whatever size it actually is) and thread the end of it and eliminate all that turning.

I imagine it would cut the cost and time down quite a bit. On a conventional lathe, that's quite a bit of turning. Of course plain steel wouldn't be too bad but SS would be sweet and the way I described might work out great....

IDK, maybe you have access to a really nice CNC machine which of course would make it a piece of cake. I'm just thinking of how I myself would think about attacking it.
