The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Hi! I just found an old Harmodisk in a box. I watched it a little bit under the mikroscope. The disc is full black, no transparent coating on it. Vestax told the cutters to cut with normal adamant laquer styli? I cutted this plates with diamond, but styli-time was not long. Was there a special styli...

yes, if your motor can run at halfspeed....
you need a modified RIAA curve too.

what cutter is this

"‘The Paradigm Process’. In a nutshell, the technicians and Miles were able to bring 25 years of development to the original concept. The cuts using this process have met universal acclaim. There are only two engineers in the world who can offer half speed mastering and Miles is the only one in Euro...

he he, but cutting loud is dangerous. 2 weeks ago, I cutted a record for a small dance label. so, there was only 6min material per side, at 45RPM. I wanted to go to the max. The the cut was very very very loud, I cutted also with halfspeed, very deep grooves. The record was so loud, that the label d...

souris diamons will fit into the sx-74

ääh, first: a email is a privat thing. posting it to a forum is not very nice :shock: but... anyway :lol: . I don´t know the exact contruction of souris head, and I think, thats not important... souris head design is very good, and working well, but there are some things to say: the head sounds good...

hi! i´ve updated my homepage. just have a look: www.dubplate.eu under: blogg you can find a funny video about dj scratching ..... but it´s in german. also, i have t-shirts with neumann lathe logo and save vinyl stuff (buttons/clocks) etc. for sale: http://www.spreadshirt.net/shop.php?sid=217548 chec...

i have recorderd some cds, can be cut with diamond on
any lathe. I used a selfmade construction to hold the disc
in center and place.

Hello!
I think, the RIAA can be used with any lathe.
The main thing is the cutting head, the VC-200 is
designed for the SC-99 cutting head. If you want to use
another one, you have to check this out, before.
Don´t hesitate to contact me.

Hi everybody! Here is my lovely red VC-200 for sale. It´s heavy modified, has RIAA-AMP Output, for using an external amplifier. EEQ (Elyptical EQ) can be switched on/off. Switch for Halfspeed (modified RIAA curve) Works perfect, has cutted many clubhits :D I post foto soon. Ask me for infos/price et...

I think, the cutter is still available.

good luck!
good things take time

I want this movie!!!!

I had the same problem, I have a lyrec motor 110v/60hz, but here in germany is 220v 50hz.
I solved the problem with a siemens micromaster motor controller box.
I makes a nice 110v 60hz out of 220v
best thing: Halfspeed is easy, you can program several motor Hz and store it in memory

how many/much amperes have you used?
normal is 0.5A, if stylus is old, I use more, but max. 0.8A.
Maybe you need a other wire...
It can´t be heated to much without problems...

How do you glue the heating wire to the diamond?

yes, you need a special loop electronics. It depends on, what cutting lathe you have. vinylium pitch does it, and souri offers a add-one kit, as far as I know.... you have to adjust the loop length, then you can start. I use the vinylium pitch, and it works very well! I´ve cutted some loop LP´s with...
