I would suggest finding a used machine and having the dies for the hole sizes you need made. most of them have a flat table that you can build off of and bolt your squares to so that you make the hole alignment for each size blank you want.

This would be the most economical route. New punch presses are expensive and they run for years and years and years. We have some early 80s punch presses that are still going strong today. We usually just try to make sure they were made here in the US or Europe or else parts can be a pain. Someone like Kempler can help you get the right size for you.
