The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

I once saw a website that showed you how to build vacuum suction for a record cutter, I forgot where, but it involved using copper tubing hooked up to a shop vacuum and a jar which catches the swarf.

This board is hiccupping. Use a fine wrap of wire to heat up the cutting stylus when recording a record. Use some sort of variable power supply to make the heat adjustable. Adjust for the quietest grooves when cutting silence. Are you using steel needles to cut records?
