Personally, I'd first look up the properties of "acetal," whatever the
heck that is.


Acetal is Delrin, basically. Which is pretty rigid in thicker pieces,
but thin film I dunno. My question is if it would crack/split when cut
with a die in a press or not.


Again I say try Bokers

They look great--except that they appear to be a manufacturer and not a
retailer, and I only need about 200 of the things.


You still might want to talk to them. That's what they do, make weird
washers other places don't stock.
