Jo,
Here's a picture of a disc, (punch) device. They're about $500.
I once considered buying one, because it's a good way to turn what would normally be scrap pieces into cash. Also, a way to create discs from materials not offered in disc-form by industry suppliers.
Edit: If you're considering the purchase of any equipment, you may want to hold out for the ARA show. Many companies offer show specials.

Thanks once again. I think I'll wait until the show and see if there are any specials or reduced prices.
Thanks for the picture. That's exactly what I am looking for. At $500 I'm not sure it would pay for itself.

Over time, the circle punch would pay for itself. Just depends on how often you need 2" discs. In the awards industry, they're a staple.
