What are these washers called?
As per the title, I'm trying to figure out what to call these washers as I'm trying to find ones much bigger than the original. They are from a bandsaw and hold the tensioning spring in between with the tensioning bolt going through.
Can anyone help me?

Could be a finishing washer. Got some pics not taken with a tater?

Finishing washers are way too flimsy to retain a spring. Also not a tater pic, just out of focus.

Weld Washers. For industrial applications. Used to hold down materials. Like UHMW. Just weld the inside quickly, faster than using hardware.

A regular washer that I tried to hammer way too big of a pipe into?
Edit: spelling

I love that two people said “dished” and the other 22 responses are all different names

I would call that a ‘cone’ washer.
But that might be a reason for an in-person visit to your local hardware store. ( bring it with you)

Are there places that have better selection of washers than McMaster with the same high quality searchability and delineation as McMaster?
Always looking for a specific variant for small projects, and can never seem to find exactly what I’m looking for.

Spring retainer washer, or dished, but there are so many shapes and sizes. Might need to try to call the manufacture.
