Hi Rick:
Try the online laser cutting service
SendCutSend
I recently had 10 sets(20 individual units, but 5 sets each of two different shapes) of custom distributor weights made, and the price and service was excellent. Just upload your .DXF or .DWG and get an instant quote. $29 minimum order and free shipping in the USA out of Las Vegas I think. It is a mostly automated service but the pricing was far better than anything locally. The web site is simple, just upload and verify the drawing, choose a material thickness and alloy, then play with quantities for a pricing structure.
There is a couple different companies offering this service, but all of them were far higher costs on low volume orders, but then come in line with sendcutsend as the volumes increase. I've used the site to quote a few other items that I plan on producing in the future, such as the laser cut frames for my production model steam engines, and the price was good for those as well.
I've only purchased the distributor weights so far, I usually regrind factory units with a custom shape to achieve different leverage and clearance, I can now save 20-30 minutes each distributor build by just choosing one of my two styles.
Normally, I laser cut stuff myself at work, and initially made prototypes on our laser, but then when I needed to do a production run, we decided to move the laser, which then caused the heat exchangers to fail. I just got done rebuilding the laser, and installing and aligning new optics. However, it is only 500w, and although it would cut your parts and I would be willing, it is much slower cutting steel than the industrial machines at sendcutsend, and I think you would get better pricing from them than I could supply with material, shipping, time, and opportunity costs on my side of things.
They offer deburring services as well, however, a drill with a wire brush, or a fine file can be easilydone buy the end user with the quality of the cuts they provided.
