Hello Fellows I know that many of us have other hobbies so If you know anyone that can make this or if you can make this let me know. Im looking for a 2.5-3 inch in diameter metal ball with a 3/4 inch hole down the middle. I;m looking to build a Maze. Let me know if you anyone can make this. Thank you!

I can get you a precision ball bearing that size, but good luck drilling through it...

Could you anneal it before drilling?
-
Yes Clint, and that would be the way to go. BUT, I imagine you would still need a mill and a carbide bit to get through it, these things are hardened to the max.

Looks like 2" is all I have at the moment
-
Aaron, thank you for the Reply. I dont have the tools to drill through it unfortunately. If anyone else can get something like that either metal or Stone that be great. 2 inch might be a little small too. Thank you for the help :)

I would be willing to try to get a hole drilled in something for you. I have a full machine shop right next door to my welding shop. We do it all for each other. Sure they would give it a try. Keep me posted. dp

I could send DP that ball bearing if you want to give it a try. Course it would still only be 2". Either way, your call
-
There are some trailer balls that are 2 piece with a removable bolt
-
Just curious, what are you using it for?
-
Clint he said he wanted to build a maze
-
I don't know what that is
-
Oh, sorry Clint.
Here you go. Correct me if I am wrong Legionnaire
-
Ahhh. A skull cracker. A 3" steel ball bearing would be a lot of weight to swing. It would sure do the job if it hit the target though.
-
At least I think that is what he is referring to

TS Distributers is place that sells ornamental fence parts.
They have a 2-1/2" cast iron ball with a 3/4" square hole for $3.07
They also have hot stamped solid steel balls 2-3/8" is $3.36 and 3-1/8" for $8.96.
These would probably drill easily.
You can go to TS Distributers website and on the left side there's some categories to click on. The second one down is baskets spheres and stars. Click on that and it opens a page with options.
They are a good company to deal with and ship really quick.

Well I'm way off track if that's a maze. I was thinking a big flat box with a maze it it and you tilt it back and fourth till you get the ball to the other end. I was wandering why he needed a hole drilled through it.

A mace is what he wants,a mace being a sphere usually with spikes mounted on a handle or club. I always likes the flail, spiked ball connected to the handle by a length of chain. >:D
-
Haha. I too was thinking like Gutshot and was confused. I had that old game in my mind - Labrinth - and thought he making a life size version or something.

That's what I was thinking too. LOL
I've heard the flail was a fictional weapon, probably never used in warfare.

A-a-ron that there's a ball club
