Saw stock slightly larger than finish size.
Put flange side down in vise. Hold onto slightly less than flange thickness.
Rough machine hub OD and ID then finish both.
Mount soft jaws in vice and machine a pocket to fit the hub OD.
Clamp part in soft jaw. Caution not to crush hub.
Machine flange shape and holes.

Option if you have a lathe and round stock.
Do all round features then go to the mill to finish flange shape and holes.
