Most boards are made with fiberglass but an internet search for "thin PCB material" instantly yielded over two million results. I am sure that somewhere in there you would find a supplier of a suitable material.

But I see you are going another way so good luck with it. I have my own boards to make now. Bye!

I don't need fiberglass, but I have not found a source for thin,
non-fiberglass board

At the suggestion of others I have investigated this. It turns out
that routing out all these discs is not going to be nearly as
expensive as I had thought, and that is now the route I am going to
take.
