Washers without holes

[Parm]

where can I get some?

I need them as a keeper for a magnet on a project I’m working on.

Seen them on ebay, they look like the stampings from a punch press. Sellers want £5 for ten !!

Size I’m looking for is around 7mm diameter by about 1mm thick. Sizes are flexible as I’ll just adjust my project to suit

Anyone have access to press cuttings?

Oh they must be magnetic

I've used a drill press to drill a 6mm hole in a piece of mild steel, ground the back end of the drill flat and sharp, mounted it back in the chuck and punched out some boaband to make some panel clamps, worked well
EDIT .... the drill bit was stationary when pressing !

I’ve got a little arbour press like this. I only need 10 of the damn things

Gonna take me longer to make the tooling

Cant you turn a bit of bar down to 7mm and part off. Guessing they dont need to be super accurate.
Wouldnt take long.

 

[rtcosic]

can you upgrade to much bigger diameter and use the punch outs from electrical back boxes? Or is that much too big?

Way too big. I’ve got some 5mm dia magnets that need a keeper

That’s the last resort if nothing else avails. I’m trying to minimise the amount of work on this project

These do the job? £1.65 for 10. Could remove adhesive with solvent.

I have some punchings that I picked up a couple of years ago - they're about 3mm thick, and 10mm X 5mm with rounded ends.

you're welcome to a handful if they're any good?

Perfect, even better that they come with adhesive. It’s exactly what I’m going to use them for

Probably too thick, Cathy has just posted a perfect link, sensibly priced too

Just a shame they don’t do them in a smaller dia

Use a appropriate size holesaw. Use holesaw to drill hole through a piece of wood and then remove pilot drill an use the wood ast as a guide for the holesaw.

I thought that, but I've never seen a 7mm holesaw?

 

[Parm]

I’ve just had a PM from my technical consultant. He’s suggested that I use a small nail set into the lid. Brilliantly simple idea

It’s always worth bouncing an idea around with you clever lot

This is what I’m trying to copy. Blades are almost made. Will be copying these wooden cases. You be got 7 to make

Il pop an invoice over later
Got some really nice sapele rescued from a staircase here mate.
Only issue. Bearing exploded on my thicknesser and I havent repaired it yet.

I can punch you some on Monday Parm, let me know how many and what sizes.

I have a monster Witney hole punch with tooling up to about 5/8". That will do the job, just need to check if there is a punch of 7mm.

I thought you have/had a lathe?
