The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Hello, im currently developing and preparing my precision platter, anybody interessted? I didnt start calculating, but the more i produce, the cheaper it can get. Dimensions: Diameter: 14" (355,6mm / 35,56cm) Thickness: 8mm Spindle hole: 7,1mm Parallelism: 0,01mm / 0,02mm Material: Steel Surface: Ch...

To be sure, try a new one like Sue recommend, always worth a try. Does your playback tonearm skip/jump with older cutted records, and tried another turntable with both records? In case it does, check your your tonearm playback setup/calibration once more. Image how much scratching you can do before ...

Wahahaha, this is overload 101. Epic!

Yeah well, after digging through the net and looking a bit closer... If a long time user like Duophonic, who cutted thousands of vinyls, it should be right to focus at the angle and forget the head, even it looks strange. Thx for the video, it helped to clear out my last ambiguities. ;) I guess Rena...

In case you have a iphone, theres a usefull app called "AngleMeter". Very good for controlling, also doing screenshots. Same here, if i set the recomended 8-10° the cuttinghead isnt parallel either, the front is way up. If its paralell, the diamond has around 20° and has not much clearance angle at ...

Beim oberen Foto könnte man meinen Schleifspuren zu sehen, sieht aber auch wie eine Ablösung vom Stempel aus. Kanns nicht deuten.

Schon mal probiert an der Stelle mit einem Q-Tip mit Alkohol oder ähnlichem zu tupfen/ Reinigen um zu sehen ob sich etwas ablöst!?

Servus Andreas, Hab ich auch schon bei einigen Platten in meiner Sammlung gesehen, hörbar war in der Tat nichts. Hast schomal die besagten Stellen an der Maschine bzw am Vinyl mit dem Mikroskop angeschaut? Wenn die Rillenspitzen eingedrückt sind sieht das"mechanisch" aus Abrieb wäre so auch zu sehen...

Ah ok, thought youre the first hand user, I guess you tried to contact the original owner or your seller?! Good luck, hope theres somebody located in UK! Cheers

Sadly im in germany too, i would help, just to find the problem and a solution, because i never had any. :/

You got it first hand of souri, why not ask him for another training session?

I wouldnt give up that fast, i guess the problem is minor, the vr is pretty plug and play.

Cheers

In gerneral i help(ed) myself pulling out some good sounding records, looking how the pros did it.. Measured (also the grooves depth and distance) and trie(d) to cut the same way. Of course its not possible to do a neumann high end professional cut with a vr.. but impressive results can be definitly...

Besides the post above.. found this meanwhile browsing the web... useful beginner tutorial.

Bought these for the stylus heating, probably it work for cuttingheads too. Didnt install it yet, just tried and measured, very accurate. http://www.ebay.de/itm/Red-Blue-Dual-LED-Display-4-Bit-DC-0-33V-3A-Digital-Ammeter-Voltmeter-TE544/331915160102?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m27...

Good question which i asked me a lot of times too, because this one is very importand for a good cutting result. Also even the diamond is aligned properly under the microscope, doesnt mean that it will be good after the cutting head is installed. The swingarm can be crooked or bend and you dont have...

Forgot one word: "Also". I meant the vte system seem to be the best out of the box solution with a vr. Works for all users i know, including me with a vt3. Also a good alternative is a aquarium pump, like a wisa 1000 (which were installed in old neumann lathes) or modern yasunaga hp pumps with a lot...

Hi can you name or post up infos about the phase meter and about the uni switcher? Thx

Its simply the best solution.... You can modify aquarium pumps, thats silent too but you need some technical skills. No accusation, but I think if a latheuser is not able to hook up a vaccum pump properly, he should not doing this as business/hobby. Imagine if real challenges or problems occur = los...

Well like a pro cutter said once: We dont know everything at all either, were just patient, try a lot and cut cut cut.... Compared to them, have no clue about cutting records at all :D, but my comon sense say: Ben is right, also be sure that the diamond is aligned properly if the cutting head is ins...

Nice!

Good luck!

Ah ok, just wondering, a few cases of new members got opened the last days and it all were bought first hand... Hopefully you get some feedback from the source soon too! If solved, share your knowledge. Its good to have a topic /solution here, so others can benefit. Building up a big vr knowledgebas...
