I want to make some oval gaskets with about a 2 inch center hole and 2 10
mm stud holes

We use tinner snips at work for cutting steel shim up to about .020". Sharp
snips will reduce the burr to almost nothing. You can remove what's left
with an oil stone easily.

As for the holes, we use shim punch and die sets. Any professional die maker
should have one. Perhaps you have a die shop near you, or know someone who
is a die maker? If they're sharp, you'll get very little burr which can also
be removed with a stone.

Regards,

Robin
