Machine shop with large lathe?

[Mikel]

Hello,
Does anyone know of a machine shop (preferably near CT) with a large lathe capable of swinging 18"? I need to have some machining done on my M715's rims.
Thank you.

I would just check your local job shops. A 9" swing(1/2 of 18) shouldnt be hard to find.

What ya doin to ya wheels?

I'm converting my M715 rims from their gigantic six lug pattern to eight lug pattern so I can run my original rims with modern axles. I welded an insert and filled the old lug holes. Now I need to chuck the outside of the rim to turn the inside face of the insert and open up the ID (left undersized) so that the rim will be concentric to the mounting surface.
