advice please on boring a bearing diameter in a hub

My vote is still for the mill Jamie. That is not a good set-up in the lathe.

Jamie, I'm with Bill.... that's not the way on the lathe. That mill setup is better, but I believe you should sweep both the bore and the face that was factory machined with the bore. You may have to "knock the head" of the mill over to be square with the work. Don't assume that the center of the spool is precision machined with the bearing bores.
