agauger,

Heres how I would run this job. Enclosed rough sketches to help explaine.
make your fixture plate for number of parts you want .layout your part location. then do all your part plates with the dowel and part holes. keep the dowel holes somewhere to eliminate any wasted material.
your parts plate will locate over the dowels . add screw in each part , screw size depending on your part size hole. the dowels will keep it located. when machining profile leave .015- .025 for you last pass, and cut extra .015-.020 into fixture plate. the screws will keep it in place. Your tumbler will get rid of any burrs.
to slot them make aluminum nesting jaws for your vise. and use a slotting cutter to mill slots, one pass.
