Re: Cutting stainless steel discs

Get a piece of 304 stainlesss 1" round bar ($12.50 per foot from places like Online Metals, or even less if you are buying in larger quantities from any of the standard metals suppliers). Cut off slices in the bandsaw (if you don't need high-precision widths), or chuck it up in a lathe and part off slices (if you need to precisely control the width of the slice). You should be able to knock them out pretty fast.
