Need a part machined... Can anyone help?

[Justin.Mercier]

I need to make a tool holder for my fly press, and it seems that the best way to have this done so as not to have weak spots would be to have it machined from a single piece.

Here's a picture of the one that Ron Reil uses with his fly press

or here's another that Larry Zoller over at Zoller Forge uses

the dimensions that I'd need would be 2.25 inches around with a 3/4 inch round shaft 1.75 inches long in the back, and a 1.75 inch long 3/4 inch round hole in the center of the bottom, which is 2.5 inches long

what I don't have drawn there is a hole tapped for a hold bolt, but depending on what whoever is machining the part would want to charge for that, I could get that done too, or not =P

If anyone knows a good place to get this made, or a better way to get it made, or something, let me know, so I can get a price quote. Or if you can make it yourself even, PM me =P

Well, turns out that piehtoolco makes these in various sizes now. The last time i was looking around they only had them in 1/2" shank, but i was just informed on another forum that they have them in 3/4 now as well. Emailing them now to make sure it's a 3/4 shank with a 3/4 receiver hole.

You can all probably never mind this thread =D Probably cheaper to buy the equivalent (if not quite as rugged) from them than to get one made =)

Justin,
if you can't get what you need email me, I can theoretically turn things up to 52 inches long and 14 1/2 inches wide
