Many thanks to everyone who has replied and PM'ed me. Some good suggestions and advice have come through. I finally have one or two replies. One from a company and one from a friend of mine.
Web Goblin: I would absolutely LOVE to walk (drive!) round to my local machinist and show them some drawings, and I have searched the Yellow pages etc for places without any luck (its possible I have been searching with the wrong terms) all I seem to be able to find is blacksmiths or along those lines. I am in Perthshire (north east sandwiched in-between Perth and Dundee). If you could recommend someone that would be good to know for future reference. I don't mind a little drive.
As for tolerances I'm not to sure... does +/- .1mm sound reasonable?
Thanks again everyone!
Edit: Still no pricing yet, but I hope that will change by the end of today!Last edited by lateAtNight; 16-12-2010 at 02:36 PM.

Well the tighter the tolerances the greater the cost, so it depends on the actual part feature.
+/- .1mm is OK for a cosmetic chamfer, but for a bearing housing it would be pitiful. If you are getting a quote from someone who could only hold a tolerance of +/- .1mm then they may not be the right person for the job.
As you have not furnished a drawing it is difficult to say what tolerance you need.
