Cutting stainless steel discs

I'm working on a project for work, and we need to figure out how to cut some stainless steel into 1" circular discs. The biggest punch and die sets I can find can only cut stainless up to 0.01", but the steel I have is 24 and 26 gauge, which are about 0.018" and 0.024". Laser cutting is an option, but not preferred, as we can't do it on-site. What other methods could I use to cut this material into discs?
