Re: Can Anybody Tell Me Whats Going On Here? (Pics Included)
its kinda hard to tell from the picture. What does it sound like when the play back needle plays those spots? If it starts to skip then I would think that you have the recording levels too high and the grooves are clashing. Also have you tried cutting other records? Does it always happen in the same...

Re: Diamond cut records not that loud
im sure you should be able to get louder cuts out of your head especially if you got a fuse inline protecting your cutting head. For me I usually set my levels to the point where the fuse blows out and then replace it with a fresh one and back the volume down till the fuse does not blow. From there ...

Re: Building an embossing system: Need a stylus heater or no
I use a heat lamp bulb from Home depot to heat my polycarbonate.
I mounted it on my Presto 6n
I usually have it on while the turntable is rotating to prevent the bulb concentrating on one piece of the plastic.
So far it seems to heat up the plastic pretty well.

Re: my current setup
Thanks for sharing! Thats a awesome diy setup you got.
Also the lathe sounds nice!
Just a question.
Do you apply compression to all the material being embossed?
I am looking into getting a hardware compressor for my setup

Re: direct to disc
Thats cool!
I do the same thing kind of.
I just run my music into a mackie mixer which goes into a amp which connected to the cutting head.
Heres a clip of some live cutting to disc :

Re: Anyone Resharpen Sapphire shanks?
Thanks for the link.
I do not do embossing as i only do cutting with my lathe.
So i do not know if the embossing sapphires will work with normal lathe cutting.
I will contact the guy and see if he can help.
Thanks!

Re: Cutting odd materials...and or shapes
the only way I was able to get good clean cuts with a X-ray was using a diamond shank.
Sapphire or ruby just can't make the cut.
