First thing that pops into my mind, and unfortunately is a little non-vinyl specific, is "DISCCOURSE". Disc-discourse...
Maybe like:
"diskcourse"
"disccourse"
"disc-course"
Or something in and around there!

Re: Sillitoe Lathes
You can't hole the cutterhead up to the disc with your hand, can you! Excellent work by both parties, through and through.opcode66 wrote:James, you love yourself, we know that.
Really one should say, nice job to Flo if we are being honest.

Re: SX74 Clone on Ebay
My goodness, I understand its a clone that 'doesn't work', but damn it appears to be well made with great attention to detail.
You'd think she would just make them so they work!?

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Project Bladerunner
Hey friend I totally understand your points! Just dropping in to share my opinion– I'm certainly an amateur machinist, but chiming in never hurts! Overall, I'm just making points about why I think the system is not worth the dough regarding a price-conscious setup. Just to clear up some miscommunica...

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Project Bladerunner
One more thing: For what its worth, DRO would be best as a supplementary angle gauge on the compound rest-- graduated dials are entirely sufficient on the cross-feed and compound feed, backlash isn't a problem with graduated dials as you are only ever noting the advance in one direction. At the end ...

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Project Bladerunner
The machine is, without a doubt, full featured– deluxe at that. It is also, however, deluxe in an unnecessary way given the conditions of the work [in my opinion]. Here is my reasoning: What really seems to matter on a tool like this is the 'structure' of the lathe: you will almost never choke a mot...

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Project Bladerunner
I hope I'm preaching to the choir here in the best way possible, and with that assumption in hand I will keep thinking aloud: Indeed, it is likely a good idea to get a lathe first, but it is equally rivalled with the CNC. Heres why: Lathe pros: -Great for cylindrical work with precision -Particularl...

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Project Bladerunner
First one is the best bang. The middle one is immense overkill.
The digital RPM on the first one is the selling feature.
Contrary to what the auxiliary photos tell you: NEVER LEAVE THE CHUCK KEY IN THE CHUCK!

Bennett, let's do a Skype session this weekend. There have been some interesting developments with Groove Scribe components over the last month in between things, and I haven't had time to share. I'm very involved in John's Grampian project right now as you might have guessed. But I would be happy ...

Re: electrical engineering questions - cutterhead related
Hi, I suggest getting an open loop design up and running first. This will give you insight into the physics and help you to understand all of the factors that go into a working system. Once you have that going, look to add the feedback. As far as processing goes, you need to first establish that yo...

Re: DGM: Neumann 320 Stylus Drawing & Animation
Cool project! Excellent use of look ahead on this. The level of precision is directly proportional to the precision of the platter's RPM, you must have grappled to wits end with this truth regarding your groove-image app. On a high-end lathe this is not really a problem, but on anything else some fe...

Re: electrical engineering questions - cutterhead related
Hey folks, Thank you for your replies– this info is important to me. you can see that 28 ga. has a resistance of 212 ohms per km. So, you need to wind 10 meters of wire to achieve a 2 ohm DC resistance. Can you get that much wire into your coil form? I calculate that the weight of this much copper t...

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Project Bladerunner
Holy smokes man! Congratulations! This sounds very good! No distortions, well controlled resonance–damn.
Your hard work is really paying off. It's awesome to see you arrive at this stage. Well done!
