    Nice Charlie. The too; you made is a standard item in tool shops and is a ship punch. Harbor freight sells one but you would need to add a pilot pin to the punches to make washers if you want the holes centered. - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

    Also, the burrs on your washers are due to the clearance between the punch and your die. Less clearance more pressure required. More clearance less pressure but not as clean a cut. Typical clearance is 3 5 % material thickness.
