OK any body out there that can mill a JLF joystick shaft with a hole drilled through and some other small alterations

I am at the point where I really need a clean precise job and it is not something I can do myself.  I'm more than happy to pay for the service

Thanks so much!

My drill press is likely in the same state as yours. How big of a hole in the 6mm shaft are we talking? End to end and a bit longer than the standard shaft? Would it be easier to start with stainless tube stock and die and tool it?

We can try to get this done but it might be something of a challenge drilling a hole right through. I guess the shaft needs to be longer to accomodate the optical wheel. We can easily get these made as we already get the original ones made and chrome plated. Starting with a tube might be the way to go, for a hollow version.
Guess the wires for top fire/illumination need to emerge somewhere..

I have a few stainless steel JLF shafts with 3mm holes ready to go. I can do any other modifications too if you like.

The only issue I can see is that because these are stainless scratch made shafts they are not magnetic like the standard plated steel ones and so if you are using them with a U360 then the magnet wont stick. (Although isnt the U360 a modified JLW and not a JLF?)

Hi Franco B, (I was kinda hoping you'd see this)  ;)

Your right I meant JLW
there are two things I'd like to try
If I get you detailed drawings would you be willing to make a couple of each?(actually one you could probably just modify)
could you make them out of something magnetic? it doesn't have to be pretty, this is for a prototype
if not that's ok I can epoxy the magnet on, again it's for a prototype
I know your extremely busy, with the custom cocktail (I check that thread out all the time, truly amazing work) so I really do appreciate any help you could offer on this project

Thanks,

Bender
