Have I missed the boat on these free samples?

Hi folks, Many thanks for the advice. Think I’m nearly there. I’m just stuck between ‘tricky’ tracking with very low noise and ‘no problem’ tracking with a little noise (it’s acceptable but I want to get it better). I guess it might be a trade off. Will experiment a little more this week. Piapkt: I’...

Hi Folks,

I am currently embossing and getting some very good results. The only issue I am getting is 'landsurfing' nearly always at the start of the disk. Is this a given with embossing or is there anything I can to do to reduce it happening?

Much appreciated.

It’s a fairchild overhead on an sp15 with a homebrew feedscrww motor.

Grampian feedback cutter head type d.

Hi folks, I'm currently looking for someone to help set up my cutter. (Im based in the northwest of england, Burnley to be exact.) I have had the cutter for a few years now. It was an all in one cutter, with everything setup to perfection when I got purchased it. Made quite a few good cuts, after th...

Cheers. That's what I normally use but with brexit ect.. Time to send and get back plus additional tax, was looking to see if there's any alternative on UK soil.

Hi,

Hope I'm in the right section.

Are there any sharpening services for diamond stylus in the UK?

Much appreciated.

IMG_0545.JPG IMG_0548.JPG IMG_0547.JPG IMG_0545.JPG Think I may have an idea. Seems to be a ever so slight difference in the level between the inside of the platter and outside. So small you wouldn't notice with the naked eye. See photos. Up until now I've been cutting only 7" and this problem (if ...

Hi folks, I have been cutting for about a year on and off and mostly getting decent cuts (after getting to grips with static etc). Just recently I have been experiencing something new. Up until now the sound coming from the cutter head and disc whilst cutting has been constant throughout. However du...

I think dealing with souri is out of the question as I don't have a vr. Any other recommendations preferably in the U.K.? Ta

What type of glue? Any guide for this would be nice. Ta

Anyone know where I can get some Gloss labels in the UK.?

Many thanks. I have come across his and I've been using it like a bible. I think Iv sussed it now. Got myself a little air purifying ioniser for £15 from eBay. With regards to the liquid I've been using cotton wool pads going back and forth from the edge right upto the hole, and then squeezing the l...

Wait to dry. Excellent advice. I was just about to crack on, cutting immediately after applying liquid. Much appreciated.

Cheers. Do I do go from outside to inside before cutting or do the wiping whilst cutting?

Hi folks, some quick tips on using my Shank anti static liquid would be greatly appreciated ie how much to use, type of cloth (if needed), how long to leave on ect. Thanks.

Sounds like a great idea. It would be greatly appreciated.

NOTE TO SELF: DONT FORGET TO TICK NOTIFY ME BUTTON.

Thanks folks. Been reading quite a few other post. I seem to have a few basic starting points that I have missed. Ultimately I would like to get a vacuum in operation.

Hi folks, Still new to cutting ect. So far I'm more than pleased with my sounds. Only problem I'm having more often than not is with the needle getting clogged up. I am using a grampian head with myshank plastic. I have no suction. All I have is a little brush. Any tips to prevent this would be grea...

finally downloaded gimp. Anyone got a template to use?
