 Dumb queston from someone who hasn't been following closely enough:
 any reason these can't be done with a drill press and some patience?
 I have both, if that helps.  Tapping the holes is going to take a
 while anyway.

I don't think the holes are tapped.

Definitely not a dumb question.

If i had CNC access i'd do this with a piece of MDF and two steel pins.
Two tool changes per part, not a big deal.
