My buddies and I use mill with a Lathe. It is an expensive thing to get unless you use it for a bussiness.

Honestly, unless you have the correct tools, it's not worth your time. Just get it done right.

not sure of the tool name, but there is one the is drill opperated with three sprung arms with honing bars used for smoothing cylinder walls, i imange it could be altered to be more abrasive for what you're trying to do.
