Even with a lathe it's not that simple.
We did a lot of trial and error until we found the right way to turn the washers to the correct diameter.
These washer are very hard and you need the right tools to work on them.
Also, there are many different levels of quality available and not all of them are suited for the clutch spring.
Dremel? OMG, have fun
Regarding the price, these springs are actually cheaper than any regular coil spring, simply because they don't wear.
I ran one set the entire season in my son's 8th scale, including Euros and national championships.
