I tryed, but not for long enough, managed to get a continuous swarf, but way too noisy.
Nothing like a diamond, for that.

Dear Fela, i was curious about the sound of your triangle stylus so i did on one of my tungstens .Fela Borbone wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 12:15 pmInstead of cones, I grind triangles, to emboss uprigth relative to the record. I expect more detail in the groove, but the elastic limits ot the plastic don't seem to care too much about sharp shapes.
I did test the same track at 33rpm and there is a real improvement at high frequencies (even I was half way at the 7" disk!)..
Something like this?
If you mean the small "hills" on each side of the groove, then yes! They are still there and still the same way cause using the Triangle is still embossing and not cutting (by removing the excess material).grooveguy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 1:33 am...embossing with a spherical point generates 'horns' on either side of the groove. Sometimes the playback stylus gets confused and rides between the horns of adjacent grooves, meaning that it's playing back from two different time zones. Do you notice anything different with the triangle?
Yes , this is the same 0.5mm Tungsten!
