I need a very small piece of metal work done. I need a cylinder of steel about 2" in dia. with a 9mm hole drilled right through the middle countersunk about 2mm to about 15MM and it needs to be about 1/2 to 3/4 in tall. I can provide exact measurements if somebody can make it. It needs to be balanced as its going to spin very fast. If anyone can provide that i'd be willing to pay about 20 bucks plus materials.
thanks!

any kind of inexpensive stainless should work. It just needs to be stainless and magnetic. As far as tolerances go... probably about .5mm or so

you realize that a .5mm tolerance on a piece that has a 2mm dimension is really pretty horrible?

I'm just looking for somebody who can do it. I can provide detailed measurements upon demand, I just wanted to know if anyone would be willing to do it.

If you got a friend in industrial (best choice) or aero/mechanical engineering they could probably whip up something quick if they happen to be in the shop. I wouldn't go announcing it to everyone, though.

^Chief is right, go to Daniels Hall (Industrial) and find somebody in the downstairs lab that will do it for you...it should be a 20 min job.

I can only mill aluminum or things that dont require flood cooling, like delrin/plastics, wood, etc...

I would take everyones advice and find someone on campus to do it.
