You should fire your machinist.Three of my own are running drilled axles,I have friends in different states that use them.Axle hubs??????? 8 3/4 axle is a one piece item.If you have enough torque to twist an axle apart you need a DANA!!!
Trick to running redrilled axles is you have to use cap screws instead of pressed on lugs. They trap the hole and you screw in the cap screw from behind. That way you don't loose axle flange area from the extra material around the wider knurling area on a traditional lug.
I've got over 80K hard miles on these...
