How to get a part machined in low quantities
Post Body

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. I appreciate that I'm more asking for advice about getting something made rather than the machines themselves. If possible do point me in the right place to ask if this isn't it.

I'm looking to get a part made, that's essentially just a custom M8 bolt. I ideally only want a prototype or two, at most 10-20 of them.

I can design the part in Fusion 360 but I have no ability beyond that to get the item made with CNC. My background is more in 3D printing. What would be the best way to go forward? Can I output a file from Fusion that most CNC machines could use or I could provide to a website to produce? Is the best option to find a hobbyist with a machine to do such a small item/low amount?

Edit: I should add, UK/EU based suppliers preferred.
