The bore is 2.375" and the pitch of that groove is ~5." .

I believe you will have significant issues with surface footage

cant spin fast enough (surface speed) because of the pitch

80 RPM yields 400i n/m 

Also need to start clear by ~2." to let the carriage get up to speed.

 

I would use a thread toolpath as in example.
