I need some thin acetal washers....
I need to make some spacers out of .01" acetal sheet. I've not worked
with it before. I had planned to drill the 1/4" center holes, and then cut the 1" OD somehow. Is this sheet flexible enough to stamp them out with a die in an arbor press, or will I have to cut each one out using a hole saw? ---- By the by, I'd prefer to use stainless steel, but cannot find the size I'd need.... 1/4" ID, 1" OD and from .01" to .03" thick, but they all need to be consistent. Also the cost of stainless might be prohibtive,,,, as I'd need 192 of them. McMaster wants $5 for a bag of 10. There is stainless shim stock of course, but I don't know if I could cut it very well with anything I have, or could make. |
