I do have both hydraulic (import) and manual (Greenlee) slug busters.  I
had not thought of using them as a punch and die or as a die for another
punch.  Its not at all a bad idea.  The advantage to purpose built is it
can be made so the slug drops free.  A pair of pliers is often required
to remove the slug from a slug buster.

I was thinking of the older roof shaped punches that make one piece slugs, perhaps with the points rounded until the slug is acceptable when flattened. The dies could have a slug remover punch pass through the mounting bolt. Since both punch and die have center holes adapting them to an arbor press should be simpler than making and hardening a punch and die.
I save the slugs to flatten and use as oversized washers.
