Doing this on a mill with a boring head is certainly going to be "less risky" Ed. The piece can be done on a lathe, though you'll be running slow (under 500 rpm) to keep it from moving. There's going to be vibration from the out of balance condition.
What I forgot to ask is how many of these do you need to make? That's a big part of the decision too.
If you do this in the mill, do you have a boring head? If so, what diameter shank does that boring head use?
