I would think that if you brought a frame to a shop with the right tool, that shop should be able to chase your fixed cup in under 15 minutes. At $2 a minute, that should be $30 or less. I can't imagine that you could make a suitable home made tool for under $30 of headache. There's got to be a good shop in the eastern half of PA.
I'd love to have a set of quality BB chasing (and facing) tools in my possession, but haven't pulled the trigger on the expense. For work of that type, I pay Mike Varley, which is a 80-minute drive, but it's always worth the trip.
