Maybe Rik, but my local machine shop does stuff for me and my humble business and CNC programming is really not so expensive also a lot of hardware is also available with fairly simple PC control these days.

I give him a DWG or DXF and he runs it through his package and, hey presto!

Even if not on CNC I would be surprised if there were not a jig to hold the workpiece while machining the detents... even in a shed in Scotland.
