How large in Dia? and what Rockwell?

Waterjets do best with flat surfaces like plate or bar.

EDM wire machines can lop it right off, but won't leave a polished surface.

Surface grinder or jig ground in a lathe may be the cheapest option for a good surface finish on RC 55 or higher.

Below RC 55 just face it in a lathe with carbide insert tooling. Polish in the lathe with a die grinder.
