Machine shops are great for doing things, but not cheap. They don't usually carry everything they need to do a job when it comes in. They then order in parts and materials, and then do the job, which requires setup and fairly close manual operation because it's the first job. Basically you pay quite a bit for a one-off job at a machine job. If you then ask for 20 or more, the costs per item will drop dramatically because the setup costs get amortised over the batch.
