Pretty sure that is what he wanted and it comes out to $66 a foot and about $5.50 per inch. Excluding tax and shipping.

Yes, you're right, a laser cutter could work, but since they're not very common, lasers didn't even cross my mind. Also, I tend to avoid sharp points in cutouts as they concentrate stress (thought they probably won't be an issue here).

I checked McMaster as well for my prices (p/n 99866K22 - $18.84 for a 1" thick piece). I assumed nothing with what he wanted to do, hence I pointed out the material cost and my question. Of course, you'll need more than 1" of material if you're going to slice it from a larger rod (loosing the blade thickness) then making sure both faces are properly squared off. You are correct that it will be cheaper than $15-$20 per wheel if he gets a foot or more, but the question is still valid.
