Cheers Howard. I have a small Myford, so will have to hold the work in the cross slide and mount the tooling in the chuck. I had considered a fly cutter, or an end mill, or even mounting a boring head in the headstock taper. I will have to buy the milling hold down gear to mount the nosecone, and don't have any tooling other than HSS tool stock I grind myself, so am looking for a steer on the best tool for the job. Concentricity will be an issue, but is achievable. Whilst I'm in there I intend boring and sleeving the front hole on the nosecone to prevent rattle and the ingress of crud, so am considering making up a boring bar to do both jobs by boring between centres. Lots of options. Experienced advice needed!
