The bearing I'm trying to use is a SKF for a VW alternator. My machinist said he cannot grab the shaft good enough to comfortably turn it, so he is building a jig to hold the bearing and will get or make what he needs to machine out the ID of the bearing to fit the shaft. If he can successfully do it, I'll probably give him a bunch more to do, and start selling them!

The bearing would be much better ID ground, as opposed to machining. Holding force would be significantly less as well.
Sounds like your machinist isn't thinking clearly.
