i'm located in west central ohio, and i need to find a company that can turn a journal of approximately 30" diameter on one end of a crosshead-stalk guide assembly for a 4000 ton forging press.
we had planned to have this onsite machined, but now we have decided to remove it and send it out for machining.
this piece resembles an inverted "T". the base is 11'x 2'4"x 3'6" high. the stalk is approximately 30" in diameter central to the base and the overall height including the base is 16 ft.
this piece weighs 64000# and is a steel casting.
can anyone point to a machining facility that can handle this close to the lima ohio area?
thanks
bobc

thanks david, but this is too large for bosma.
they did however lead me to dynamic in cincy, and it looks as if they have the capability.
thank you,

I have a client that can handle this. They are frequently involved in turning large shafts for the steel and large press rebuilding industries. They are located south east of Cleveland. If interested contact me @216-272-3292, John W.
 
i have received a quotation from dynamic machine in cincy. he is very confident he can handle our project.
i am still researching others, and am waiting to award the job.
thanks to all,
the clues pushed me in the right direction.
