I need a source for 24 pcs. of 1/4" to 3/8" thick by 4-1/2" to 5-1/2"

make them into rollers. Any ideas? I was thinking barbell weights for
midgets, but Google didn't show any...too politically incorrect?



Of course, you could simply buy a circle cutting attachment for your torch,
these are going to be welded anyway.

Or a foot of 5" dia bar and do them on the bandsaw. Might take half to one
hour per cut for a little say but the job doesn't require a lot of attention.
