Default Cut aluminium

I know this may be a little off topic but I don't know where to start.
I am looking for a cost effective means of acquiring 1/8 inch thick and 1.25 inch diameter aluminum disks with one hole close to the outside.

dose anyone here know a practical way I could cut these my self?

dose anyone here know someplace that will laser or abrasive jet cut these kinda things?

any related information would be helpful!

Default Re: Cut aluminium

Check for local fabrication shops. They usually have punches large enough to do the job quickly. Next look for shops that have CNC water jet or plasma rigs. They won't be as cheap but may give a volume discount. Machine shop would be the last place because unless they are starving for work the cost will be prohibitive. I can get quotes on all the above but then you would have to add in shipping from Texas.
