Milling machine (time) needed

Hi All,

I started rebuilding my lathe saddle and I realized that I will have to do some remedial work that I need to get done on a milling machine that is bigger in capacity than my current milling machine. I am in Regina, SK. If anybody is willing to let me use their mill to get the job done, I would greatly appreciate it. I have severer trust issues in machining shops and the saddle is not something that I will ever be able to replace without gifting potentially two kidneys. I have my own tooling to get the job done. I need to be able to mount a saddle with a footprint of 20"x20" and just mill some surfaces to make way for Turcite or Moglice. The underbelly of the carriage is as the picture depicts, so, I need to get a milling machine head into the cavity.

Appreciate any responses.

Thanks.
