OTTAWA Area - Flat Taper in Mild Steel Plate

Anyone in here have/know someone with a milling machine in the Ottawa area that can give me a hand?

Looking to have a flat taper cut in these alignment shims. Varying orientations/tapers for a full set. Not precision work. Not particularly time sensitive.

Will come laser cut as you see drawn in ~3mm mild steel.

Work holding via a fixture plate with bolts (maybe super glue on the edges if needed). I can dimension it for T-slot table/ huge vise, or whatever you want really. Work holding easily changed.

If interested please reach out! Thanks

Is there a reason that you can't laser cut it after milling the taper? Seems to me like you've got a whole lot of not particularly well supported details on that part after it's lasered out. If you can laser cut it after tapering it might make the milling setup a lot easier.

Outsourcing the cutting to Send Cut Send. Only $3 per unit. I agree that would be ideal though.
