Lead times on custom washers. Anybody know of place with quicker turnaround?

Can they be punched from sheet?

Most any sheetmetal shop worth a shit has an Amada 357 or three. They do 350 strokes per minute. Washers take two hits. You get roughly 9000 washers per hour.

Sounds like a 50 cal if you're punching 3" washers from 1/4" plate.

I get a custom washer stamped from bokers for a product we sell. Need to order more but their lead time is about 100 days. I dont have enough on hand to last this long. Probably going to have to end up machining some to meet deliveries, not really looking forward to this.

Any other options out there in US or Canada that might be faster?

Long, long time ago, there was a member "Larry" from Socal, that did just this.
Last we heard, was moving the shop eastwards.
