Yes still needs center bore (its actually on an idler I found out). He doesn't want the hole to go thru so it can only be made blind on the inside. He pulled the idler assembly from the motor so I can check fit and directly compare measurements. I'm more worried at this point about keeping the mating inside surface perpendicular to axis and a flat surface. Putting it on a mandrel would for sure help with perpendicularity. That would have to be a fairly beefy thing.
Putting the holes in gets a little trickier too now. I was going to clamp the thing to the bed of my mill, indicate the bore and run a quick hole drill program. Now that will be a major deal too.
Assuming I pull this off, I will either feel very lucky or one step closer to being a real machinist. I think I will budget in some new underwear too, just to be safe.
