Bill,

This sounds like a fairly easy job. Hold the screw in a 3/8" collet
and turn to required diameter, 10 minutes max, insert collet, insert
toolholder, set tool offset, quick & dirty program using canned
cycle. If the screw is long it'll need addition support back in the
spindle to prevent it from whipping around. Providing a
support/spindle liner will take 5 times as long as doing the actual
job.

In the NW, we get about $60+/-per hour for CNC lathe work. If the
customer wants to watch the work being done and a shop tour then add
$40/hour. If he's an inventor add another $40/hour. (smile)
