If you're making the cuffs from solid rod then you'll want to drill the 3/4" ID all the way through and then simply widen one end with a 25/32" drill bit.
The depth of the narrow end needs to be similar to the height of the hex collar on your fittings. Typically this is around 1/4" but the fittings you get from various watercooling suppliers will have a hex much thinner than that.
For mine I just aimed at putting the transition between the two IDs in the middle. The narrow ends doesn't need to be very long in order to work.
I also forgot to note that I HAVE made one or two of these out of brass. It's possible to make them out of aluminum as well. I prefer plastic because it's dirt cheap and way more "friendly" when it comes to machining.
