Anybody near Cambridge/Bury St. Edmunds have a lathe?

And know hat they're doing with it! 

I want to nibble the threaded section off the rear of a 102mm diametre steel OTA tube (The Celestron C102) and turn about a millimetre off the outside of a focuser OTA adaptor.

I'm happy to pay with money/beer/wine, etc. If not, recommendations for a bloke or company that can oblige would be happily received. 

Cheers,

Russell

Good shout Steve - I'd forgotten about Astrotec and there's something comforting about using somebody who innately understands the need for 'straight' and 'square'. As I work just the other side of Bury St. Edmunds, he's also conveniently placed at the right end of Ipswich.

I've emailed him.
