Default 12552215 crank flange thickness - machine shop?

Can a machine shop take a 6.0 crank part #12552215 & have the flange thickness taken down about .860 so I can use this crank with my setup?

I have done a few and they worked fine. Don't miss that you have to machine the ID also.

I was in the same boat.....for me it was cheaper/easier to find another crank. I grabbed a lightened ls6 crank here in the classified section for $150.
