re: Axles

The price of the Stanley dowel maker has gotten crazy over the last several years.  One with a full set of the cutters will run you $1000+ on eBay and it is not unusual to see individual cutter heads priced between $150 and $250 each.  Most of the listings come with just a single cutter (usually the 3/8" size).  Heck, people are listing just empty cutter head boxes for $85-$125.  At those prices, I have considered selling mine and getting the Lee Valley dowel maker.
