I am looking for someone with a minimum 15 inch lathe with a spindle capable of taking a 2 inch piece of round stock. I have a 15 minute job that I need help with. My 13 inch lathe is too small. Basically I have a 1-1/2 thick inch round steel disc that is 13 1/2 inches in diameter that has a 2 inch diameter hole bored in the center. A 6 inch long piece of 2 inch keyed shaft has been welded to the disc. If was aligned with a square, but it is not perfect. I need the keyed shaft inserted all the way into a big chuck, and a light finish cut taken off of the round disc to true the shaft with the mounting surface of the disc. I can pay a reasonable amount to have this done, but I cannot afford shop labor rates. I've tried a few machine shops close to me, but they want too much. I do understand it is a small job and it's not cost effective for them to do this for me. I'm hoping I can find a hobby machinist type guy with a big lathe who can help me out. If interested, please contact me through this site. Thanks
