How Can I Make This?

i misread...thought i saw mini mill..
 
If you have a band saw, you could cut it out and clean it up with a file.
 
You could do it with a sharp file and a vise in a few minutes, just go for it.
 
I'm not totally convinced that you couldn't put two dowel pins in the face of a piece of tubing, unless this insert is recessed so much that the tool must have such a thin wall. I doubt the torque requirements are so high you would damage the insert by using a pin spanner. I've made many over the years as a substitute for that type of wrench.

Naturally, the factory wrench is cheaper from a production standpoint, and that may be why you see them offered made like that.

Buy a wide blade screwdriver at harbor freight, and file a groove down the center. Have done this a few times for safety screws.

Thanks. What is the best and easiest way of marking 2mm width line across the diameter face of the rod?
 
I thought about this... as I saw someone cutting gears on his lathe using the toolpost with a cutting tool..
 
You can also clamp two pins in a vise-grip and use that temporary.
 
If you get a QCTP and clamp the part in the tool post in line with the Chuck and place an end mill in the Chuck so now lathe is mill.

Combination of end mill diameters and washers under tool post should allow you to make controlled repeatable cuts.

Take a hack saw and cut down the center of the tube. Insert two pieces of material into the slots you just made with the hack saw. Then hard solider it all together. Maybe you could soft solider it? No mill needed…Dave
