How can I make this feature?

Start with oversized stock, drill a hole with a 7/8 Silver and Deming drill. Cut part to size.
 
So I suppose suggesting using a CNC mill is even more ridiculous?
Not really as I do have a CNC router but the spindle speed is way too fast for steel :)
 
Hole saw, slow speed and down feed. Clamp part down to piece of scrap, wood, aluminum, etc.
 
I've done those partial arc cuts with annular cutters without any problem, but I have a good size Bridgeport.

I have a small PM-30 class machine.
 
Do You have a boring bar for Your lathe? If the tool bit can be slid out a bit, there is your adjustment needed.

I do but I'm having a hard time picturing this setup.
