I assume the standard way of making flat washers is to punch them out of
sheet steel with a suitable sized punch (the wastage must be quite
something) but suitable sized punches plus a press isn't sounding cheap.


What size holes? Q-max cutters (or clones) for reasonable sizes ain't that
expensive, compared to a press.

The dimensions required might help.


Metal cutting hole saws?
Cut for the outside diameter first and then do the centre with a smaller
cutter.

Not known for a tidy finish though.
