Best way to make a bunch of 3/8 x 9/16" Rectangle pieces with a 3/16"d hole in center
I need around 100 pieces of 3/8"x9/16" rectangles out of 1/16" thick steel with a 3/16" diameter hole in the center.
I originally thought I'd just drill the holes one after the next using a jig and then just slice them off with a chop saw. But I'm finding that the holes aren't a problem but the precision of the chop saw and slicing is pretty difficult. Also, I had a hard time getting 3/8" wide 1/16" thick steel bar stock.
Would having them laser cut be the way to do it? Would the cost be reasonable for 100 pieces of something like this?
I'm not a machinist (trying to be) but I'm a wood worker so any ideas are appreciated!
thanks!
