Though Macor (machineable) ceramic rod ordered thru McMaster Carr can serve for some early prototyping, if you really need high tolerance parts made from high performance ceramics, go to a speciality shop.
Ian Melody: (paraphrasing) Ceramics machining is quite specialized, so you're always best served to find a vendor who specializes in it. (diamond tipped borring bars, diamond abrasvives, help w/ material selection, etc).
From Christine Mcelhaney: http://www.haywardquartz.com/Homepage.htm is on Applied Materials approved vendor list. "Don't know if they're willing to work on small orders considering they can do production, but they claim to have "R&D."
