QUANTAS VOLTAS TEM A BOBINAS??

This is the rusult: however I didn't cut any more, every thing is at house corner: cutter head, blank discs, stylus P320 (Myshank)
I could sell to anyone interested, mail to me: thangndsd@gmail.com
Cheers!

Its hard to keep the blank disc flat while cutting that killed some blank discs. I have just bought a Disc Stabilizer - Audio-Technica AT666. Used, no vacuum pump, just the disc, 100$ does it worth? Is there anyone have used this one for cutting? I will test soon and hope its ok. https://farm5.stati...

I notice the dashpot in your video; is this a pull or push-pull dashpot?

The dashpot I'd made from an injection cylinder, so don't really know it is a pull nor push one.

Static is evil, killed my 10 blanks! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Nice work so far... in terms of the blanks: I know that feeling. I'm just working through something similar myself. :cry: Just out of interest, what angle are you cutting at and with how much weight? I should probably do an update o...

Finally, it works! I'm using a rotary vane pump, it is too strong so I did 2 input lines to minus air flow, that make noise as a flute. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4644/39444480871_d129e49784_c.jpg (the big one, compare to previous one) tE9c0PE_bCU I've cut ten times without anti static, but fail...

That's looking great! Are you planning on implementing a controller to lift the cutting head up and down? Also, does the pot work fairly accurately for groove width? In terms of static I don't have much personal experience but I know Todd from Deep Groove Mastering has a video on cutting plastic wh...

Hey not an expert but I'm using a rietschle vte8. It has a 133l/min max airflow and I run it at 80% speed most of the time. I do however use a lot of duct tape instead of 'real' connectors, so I guess I do have quite a few vacuum losses. My previous pump which did not work had a 118l/min airflow, b...

Now I got a problem with vacuum suction, it can not suck the static, static always got stuck behind the needle :( . I don't know if my vacuum pump is too weak or may caused of other reason, 2mm from suction tube to needle and blank. Here is the datasheet image, can someone tell me if it is powerful ...

Hi, Looks great! Are you using the TMC2100? I just ordered a few to play with. Mark Hi Mark, Yes, as your recommendation I bought one, and it works really well, silence. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4647/39308129712_7a4908bcbf_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4728/24473631477_f371ab5d20_c.jpg...

I have just made a simple lathe control
Happy new year to all trolls!

And mine


put into head


Cheers

update a pix

I bought this vacuum pump, rather small, a NOS with good price. Had anyone tried this? https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4533/24044387777_0a94eed95a_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4647/27132641629_b56550139c_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4590/27132638799_b70ec62d20_c.jpg Same one on ebay: ...

I have just done one more test, used another EQ through proQ2, seems better than before!

A little update make new head, use p320 and black blank from Myshank, I still dont have vacuum pump, so need to find one (can anyone help me to find the suitable one?) Some noise caused of the GND cable of the turntable that I didn't connect to preamp when ripping. The "bip" sound is from the usb as...

Hi all,
Made EQ match between record rip and iRIAA source file (using Dr.Cut, just press turn on the iRIAA button), And I don't know how to do now to fix or change to get better result.
Plz can some one show me how??
Thank you!

Im really stuck of this step!

I'd recorded white noise with iRiAA and rip to Macbook, then I make EQ by Fabfilter Q2 to compare with the original white noise. As the picture bellow, the small, white one is my record. Could some one please tell me what's going wrong, what I need to do now? Thank you so much! https://farm5.staticf...

Keep in mind that if you're embossing, you're most likely only getting mono back, so a mono jack shouldn't be too much of an issue. Yes John, today I make some tests on CD and Polycarbonate blank on Vestax turntable, speed ok so I get better result, still noise but Iam rather glad with this step. :...
