Forgings

Hi Brian,
what sort of forging are you after. Something simple, that could be manufactured in a traditional blacksmith's forge, or something, with tight tolerances and a complex shape?

Hi Andy, Ideally I am looking for something with reasonably tight tolerances, but plan B might be a bit more rough and ready, and do some more final machining.
 
Thanks James, Yes I have spoken to them, but they are not interested in low volume.
 
What kind of forgings are you looking for? Do you have a drawing? What material and heat treatment? My shop does buy and machine forgings. Would have to see more information before I can determine if in our wheelhouse. www.diecraftmachine.com
 
Thanks for all your suggestions. I ended up with a bit of a compromise, as I had them made from an open die forging, using some existing tooling, and then machined to the final shape. I just need to machine them to suit my driveshaft tube and drill the holes for the doughnut bolts now.
