I think your price point might be difficult. You are talking about three ops… Cutting stock (rod or plate) turning on a lathe to size… then lapping on a surface grinder for finish. if you talking about a large batch you might want to talk to a machine shop. I make something like what your looking for at work… and I can tell you they cost a good bit more then $1… just looking at onlinemetals.com… 1" brass round would be $216.18 which would make 130 blanks or so…2 hours to make program and setup, about 2 to 3 hours to turn off the first side…1 hour to set up for second (backside). 2 hours or so to turn the back side. then a few hours to do the lapping and polishing. I know at our shop… time on a lathe is around $75hr for a simple turn like that…
again… try your local Machine shop… we have “disk” left over from when we cut holes on our waterjet that we just throw in the scrap bin… both Naval brass and SST… you could then turn them down yourself if you have a lathe.
