Default need lathe help

Whats up guys! It's been along time since I was over here in the 1/2a section. I dove into electric, and it been keeping me occupied. I do need some help from one of yall's with a lathe. I not only have been flying electric but I've been building those cd rom brushless motors. All I can say is wow! any ways I tore apart a old vhs or hard drive and it had a huge stator(used in brushless motors)I'm thinking when correctly wound it is a 30ish size motor,400watts,(comparatively).Anyways I need a little machine work done on it and when I thought of machining I thought of all you craftsmen.I am gonna be trading/selling most(not all) of my half-a stuff...must have30 planes and 50 motors of cox and norvel alike, from 020 to.074's. I also have little cash,just no lathe,I am working on that thou....Another guy in the local club has one under a hundred model kits, in a cluttered basement filled with anything and everything hobby like. If I could possibly retain so machining skills I could make it a worth while trade. Such a large electric motor would cost in the 150's at least so......I guess you could pm me or e-mail would work to. I hope I got this in before the weather clears up too much, don't want to force anybody out of go flyintimethanks in advance fella's, I know it's only related to half a in a round about way[]but reading and posting for so long over here, I feel like there always a way! thanks chuck
