12'' stereo cutter under 5k... Real or dream?

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Hi everybody, i'm new on this forum but i want to get into the lathe cutter world soo hard! I own a mix/mastering studio and i would love to cut some vinyl... i raise some funding for this project, as above i got around 5k... my needs are to cut 12 inches stereo records on plastic or pvc (no lacquer).

Do you have any suggestion? :D

nothing out there that I know of! the vinyl recorder system with all in, and travel is more than 5K.

figure it's worth mentioning, maybe partner with an existing cutting service to see if the business model works for you and your current/potential clients

If you can hang around and wait for the trip/purchase... We had done a ton of back-and-forth and then he went radio silent for a hot minute. I found a Presto K-8. Burned out at work and ended up booking a trip to Thailand. Literally 3 days later who do I hear from? :shock: Souri! Bummer.

It's OK though. I'm happy I ended up going this route.
