Abstract: A method of making an apertured disc, which may be a valve guide for fuel injection systems, includes providing an elongated metal strip, establishing a plurality of generally circular circumferentially spaced first openings of a first diameter, establishing chamfers in the upper and lower portions of the first openings and creating a central opening radially inwardly of the first openings followed by severing a disc containing the openings. The disc edges may be treated to produce a radiused edge. The method preferably involves a progressive stamping operation. A corresponding apertured disc is disclosed.
