making spacers from one piece of steel

[Roger HulettParticipant @rogerhulett83124]

O.K. mm in future. I am only learning. Thanks to everyone who participated,it did at least lead to a lively discussion. Following the general consensus,I shall be purchasing more steel. The main reason for the query was to try and learn a new technique if one was available.

Once again,Thankyou everyone.

Thanks for stimulating the debate! No stupid questions, only stupid answers…

Good question Roger, In my answer, a hole saw used on the lathe running in low back gear would be more practical than a trepanning tool, but my personal method would be as you have said, get a bit more steel for the small discs, save a lot of sweat.

I can get good quality second hand hole saws at my local second hand shop quite cheaply.
