Hey, listen I don't want to beat this to death... but when I was a kid I had a 3 wheeler that got so wore out it wouldn't hardly start. I took the head off and found a burnt valve. I wasn't going to spend the money on new valves, or a valve job... so, I chucked the valves up in a drill press and used a hand file to "true them up". Did it work... oh yeah. Put them back in and it would actually start. Rode it several more years like that. Point is, just because you
can do something, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

No, a machine shop cannot make that piece. The surface is machine flat and lapped, then case hardened so the bearing can ride on it. It's a buy thing.

Check around.
Your choices are new, used or find a different source for the new part. Or put it back together and see how long it lasts. Looks pretty rough from here, but the pic you took isn't great..... I can't see how bad it is very well.
