Besides that, any other suggestion, please?

Could it be teflon?

I guess using a syringe?
Btw-What type of oil is used?

Hi. I hope some of you can help. I somehow managed to lose the plastic looking bit (seems for damping) that goes around the metal bit that joints with the diamond holder. I am sorry, I don't know the word for it but please have a look at the attached photo. Could anyone tell me what material is (tef...

Sorry but I wouldn't know

I guess the best way is by looking at the reflection of the stylus on the blank, that way you can tell if it is straight or not?I also take a pic from the side and I zoom right in... Sorry I am not too sure what you meant with the second question..This head is stereo, I don't think there is a mono o...

This is the book I have been missing since day one.. It says (as far as I understand it) that the stylus angle adjustment should be around 90 degrees (-/+3) , right? There is no way that the diamond could have that angle if the top of the cutter head was to be paralel to the blank because of the inw...

Found the book.

Wasn't aware how critical angle of cutter-head is in order to get better sound/ avoid surface noise. I just wished I could have asked sooner... as nobody explained the importance of this to me in the first place. So many diamonds badly used, what a shame... I wonder how other Vinylrecorder users set...

Ohh that attachment is very helpful, I would love to read the entire thing..

I was just told to keep top of cutter head parallel to the blank and that's what I think I have been doing..:s

Yes, could be that..I have it set so that the top of the cutter head is parallel with the blank..I use a spirit level to ensure that the blank and cutter head are flat, I wonder how you guys do it?

Hi there,

I use Souri's blanks and yes I have the mono microscope that came with the system, diamond doesn't seem to have any problem.


Yes, I did have a crash course with him, we covered the basic do's and don'ts but we didn't get too deep in any particular subject.

Hi all, I have been a lurker for some time but this is my first post (Somehow there seems to be a glitch on the site as it posted this three times). I have been doing some PVC cuts with the Vinylrecorder system for a few months but I struggle to get decent sounding cuts. All my cuts are lacking of a...
