Material for flexi

[adrik]

Hi, I am a new here and I would ask you, which material do you use for make a flexi records?
And the second question: When you cut from CD-Rs, how can you play this on gramophone?
Thanks for your answers.

Welcome, Adrik!

Hi, I am a new here and I would ask you, which material do you use for make a flexi records?

I'm assuming you are meaning to lathe cut flexis, yes? as opposed to pressing them.
Anyone?

And the second question: When you cut from CD-Rs, how can you play this on gramophone?
Thanks for your answers.

I am assuming you mean playing lathe-cut CD-Rs on a normal modern record player, yes? Anyone?

I have an ordinary gramophone, but CD-Rs have a big hole for playing ..

Hi Adrik!
I use 0,75mm Lexan, is policarbonate and kinda flexi, can be cutted with fish scissors(to the round shape I mean) There is more threads in this forum about other suitable plastics.
For centering CD's in the turntable the favourite seems to be a M8 nut.The inner hole must be little bigger, using a round file or a 7,5mm drill it can be done easily,
Hope this helps.
