I have a part I need to bore the I.D. in. It has an outer body of Ø72" and an inner diameter Ø69" x 157" lg. Anyone know of a machine shop that can handle a part that big? It only weighs about 15,000 lbs.

My first thought ran to Crown Boring in Detroit,but they have boring mills.
Did a Google search for large Part Turning and this was the top result:

It has been a couple of years since I have dealt with them, but they are into BIG parts.

Continental Field Systems in Savannah GA can do 18' X 240' 300 tons but perhaps for your application rather than shipping it somewhere maybe it could be field bored. Continental or In Place Machining could setup onsite and punch that fairly easy. If it's only 69 X 157 then surely they already have a boring cage on the shelf to pop that out.

Are you boring to that diameter for the full length? It's one thing to turn the OD, face and bore to an internal shoulder
but if you've gotta go full length now that's a project! What tolerances do you need? That piece only has a wall
thickness of 1-1/2"....I can see the possibility of some flexing and maybe some chatter. Good luck...
Yup, I think the big Raf-rat went down though. And there are a couple guys with big Manuals too.
Now that I'm saying it a loud, the OP may have better luck---not only posting in the commerce sub forum(where it should be), but in the general sub. Lots more Manuals with that capacity than CNC.
