Try eBay for used one, or KBC Tools

are you going to do this with the table vertical or horizontal...ie ball end mill or 1/2 round horizontal milling cutter. Sounds like a heck of a job if its a regular vertical mill.

If you have a vertical/horizontal RT, what about putting it in the vertical position and cut it using a fly cutter or boring head? It;ll take ahile, but so will any approach unless your got some 10,000 lb K&T mill or the like
