Cut a few from batch A14092 this week. No issues here.

I understand. I'm just asking the other folks who have been cutting silent grooves with the heat off at what depth they've been doing it. Out of interest and curiosity as to their specific experiences.

thanks,

Right. That's why I was wondering what the others have been doing. Since with a variable pitch and depth system the depth will vary, I guess you need to burnish at whatever the max depth might ever be? So...like...4 mil width or something? 4.5? What are all y'all doing for burnish width?

When you guys do this new stylus burnishing, how deep are you cutting? What's the groove width?

Thanks!

We run a humidifier in the lathe room pretty much all winter.
