It will take a good hour or two to get it setup just to run it. And of course they are going to add in a few hours of prep and clean up. So if you just want one done expect around $800+ if you have a usable drawing, unless of course you know someone in a good machine shop that is willing to try and do it for you.
You maybe lucky and find a shop that is low on orders and cut you a hell of a deal though.

Nahh, forget about milling, that's old age technology
I uploaded an STL version of the drawing to
www.xpress3d.com for an instant online quote. It cost U$45, and you get $25 discount on the first order.
That's delivered in two days anywhere in the US; only problem is I'm in south america , so shipping can be more expensive than the part.
Also those models are based on a hardened plaster powder so have grainy texture that need to be polished away. But I've done more complicated things than that..
MDM: Thanks..
