Just chuck a piece of 1.5" stock in the 3 or 4 jaw depending accuracy requirements. Face off the end square or taper depending on how you want it, drill or bore the hole and part off. I make various washers and spacers like that all the time. I have a dial indicator set up on my longitudinal feed so precise thickness is easy. Just add the thickness of you parting blade to the desired thickness of the washer/spacer, lock your carriage and part off. If you need a bevel on both sides, part off half way then make the bevel before completing the cut.
Try this.
Assuming hole is 0.5 inches and adjust actual to what you make.
Also a syncing making washer for grinder so taper on one side and flat on opposite.
Start with round stock slightly larger than needed and drill center hole, turn to OD and form tapered "fancy" side.
Remember to have flat area where nut meets up.
Part thicker than needed to allow cleanup.
Fixture for final cut.
Place round stock slightly larger than hole in lathe.
Center drill deep enough to insure room for live center to fit.
Face off and De - bur.
Place washer finished side against said flat spot and bring in live center from tail stock to pinch it in.
Light cuts to finish surface and carefull to not touch the center.
Last place part in chuck gripping OD and just kiss off the center where you could not get to.
Learned this from retired guy...works well.
