Clear Polycarbonate discs for sale

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.

Clear Polycarbonate discs for sale

I am thinking of getting some 0.030" thick clear polycarbonate die cut. They would be a 10" circle with a spindle hole and a second hole for those lathes that have a registration pin (or whatever it called). To keep costs down, I want to order in quantity. I'm thinking I would sell them for $4.00 each or 10 for $30.00 plus postage. Anyone interested? I could take pre-orders and see if its worth the effort.

sorry to nitpick your post, but I believe .060" thickness is what I use?

Hi.

.030" is what I have available. I suppose one could glue two discs together. I cut out a test disc with scissors to see if it would work and it did. It looks like I'll be doing this.
