I want to try using these as washers between the armboard and plinth; but I haven't been able to come up with a good idea for making them.
Follow Ups:
I've been using little bits of 1/8" thick sorbothane as isolaters for years. They work like a charm once you figure out the proper amount to use for any particular application (taking into account weight bearing, type of audio component, and the durometer rating of the sorbothane). Experimentation is key. But why do you need to cut circles? It's so much easier to take a pair of scissors and cut squares or rectangles...
Go to the hobby store and buy a 12 inch length of brass thinwall tubing in the diameter of your desire. Use wet/dry sandpaper to sharpen the edge on one end as required, and use it sorta like a cookie cutter. Works like a charm.

Regular punches have a tapered thick outside wall that might not be the best choice for this job, possibly distorting the cut.
Beats my though of many tiny pin holes by a mile, although mine would require less investment in tools.
get a leather punch with the right sized I.D.

(well more technically, borers for rubber stoppers)
Not that long ago (when I was a grad student), one used to actually make some of one's own lab apparatus, and every lab had a nice, sharp set of "cork borers" to put holes in rubber stoppers for glass tubing etc.
I have to assume that the supply houses still have these...
Try someone like Daigger (link below). AFAIK, they'll take a personal CC; I bought a replacement glass blender head for a vintage Waring blendor from them some years back.
all the best,

I used a pair of hollow punches like these to make neoprene washers once. Had to whack them pretty hard and use a soft wood base underneath but it worked well. Might work on sorbothane?
This is exactly the kind of thing I was considering; but I didn't know if anybody made it or where to find it.
Thanks!

No worries, hope it works out for you. Since you have to eyeball the alignment, it is a lot easier to punch the larger diameter first, then the inner hole. If you do it the other way around you'll often be off center, unless the punches are sharp enough to first scribe an outline on the sorbothane
the only problem is they dont have BINFORD tools.

I knew you had to figure out a way to control it after it sucked your Kenny Dorham Blue Note through the vacuum hold down pores of the platter, but you've got it straightened out now, don't you?
I just want to make sure that the next time I'm over it doesn't rip the shaytl (Yiddish for wig) off my head.

Hi,
Find any round household object of similar size and use it as a cutting template for use with an EXACTO knife. Use a NEW blade, and guard your fingers (always cut away from them, not towards). After a try or two, you'll be an expert.
Good luck, Joe
Sounds like the voice of experience.
Exacto knives are really good at slicing the hell out of your thigh when cutting paper, too.
Someone told me that, it wasn't me...honest! Really, it wasn't me, it was someone else, really. I wouldn't lie, really, it wasn't me.

Hi,
Actually I worked as a manufacturing engineer for three years writing processes for making filled plastic (mostly carbon phenolic) and rubber components (insert joke here) for rocket motors. I would have suggested a cutting glove, but I would bet few out there have one (they're kinda like coats of mail, except in glove form). Really good hobby shops, etc. sell 'em, though. As far as your thigh -- well sorry to hear about that but at least it wasn't a little higher up!
Cheers, Joe
