On the rebuilding antique compressor: Machine reed valves and
metallic gaskets.

This type of reed valves is anything but simple. Circular pad then
goes complete 3/4 around to a two hole tab for fasteners.

I could make them by hand using jeweller's saw & metal sandwich but
what about jet cutting or laser cutting for small order? Six reed
valves and keep four for spares.


Look here.
Might just do ya...
