[EIDXA] Machine Shop for Mast Adaptor

I am getting ready to install my US Tower MA-550 tower and mate my new Hex-Beam to it. However, the Hex Beam requires a 1.25 inch pipe for a mast and the MA-550 is set up to work with 2 inch masts. Best solution I have seen is to take a 2 foot length of 2 inch aluminum rod and get it tapered down to the OD of the 1.25 inch pipe over the space of about six inches. To do that however, I need access to a machine shop as I do not have that type of capability. Does anyone know of a machine shop in the area that will take on small jobs as described above and that has done good work for you in the past?
