very nice cutting lathe from russia

[duomo]

I found an German article about xray flexi discs made in russia in the 50-70ties. There is shown a handbuild cutter which is very nice . Here is the link http://einestages.spiegel.de/external/ShowTopicAlbumBackground/a23303/l7/l0/F.html#featuredEntry

What kind of needles were thy cutting those with? I've had no luck with sapphires or steel. Has the type of film changed?

You were using the very slick film as opposed to the matte finish looking film, I'm assuming?

I want to cut them without a diamond, ideally...

the film is approx 0,5mm thich with a matte surface.
hard to get a hold off today, since everything is digital
