Bending a grooved axle

[davet]

If I get aftermarket axles that are already grooved, am I able to bend it safely? It seems that pre-bent aftermarket axles are bent to around 5 degrees. I would like to bend it further and I know how to add the bending groove. The journal groove is just as deep as the bending groove would be so would I run into problems and get a slight bend in the journal area too?
Thanks.
