Obvious Mike... unfortunately.

559 exactly, only one left yet.

Same moh scale’s hardness than rubin or Sapphire. It won’t work on plastic.

Not working here... I do not have the system to resharp rubin stones... I'll have a look around some contacts...Maybe an idea.

There was a Japanese patent on the diamond stylus for lacquer. Do a search for it. If I remember rightly it had a .0001 gold wire embedded at the back in contact with the lacquer to ground the static electricity generated to ground. It had 3 wires two for heater one to ground the static. I am sure ...

No doubt there is always a guy here to help with stylus. I’m sure.

Here is the first batch of pictures of a Neumann Stylus from the 80' Picture from side, mirror face, front facet. From x100 to x2000 Nomarski mode Minor defect on the surface of the mirror face but with 0% incidence on a cut. No visual defect on the micron facets (few scratch almost not visible to x...

I'll try this week if I have time.

Ok, but I don't think that will be the most difficult part of the trick

Why the production has been stopped?
Any idea where I could get one of these?

For the sapphire stylus it's ok, someone already proposed one to us.

You have any source for that? Laser is definitely not clean on diamonds...even in 2018

Oh, I'm sorry! €5,000! That changes.... absolutely nothing. If you can get a machine from Souri for $3,000 you should jump all over it. But Based on your exchanges on this thread, I put the over/under on Souri ghosting you at about 2 emails back and forth. Best post of the year for now. Haha terrib...

I’m totally assuming my words. I’ve tried them. It’s shitty. 12g of pressure to get a surface groove... shitty again. And it’s not aggressive... I’m not talking about the guy I don’t know, just the products. All plastic can have the best sound... if you have the right stylus with the geometry. But s...

Hate to say I did not have any luck with Recordblanks product for embossing. I'm sure they are great for cutting w/ diamond as recommended Definitely not!!! It breaks diamonds. Shitty product. Really! If I remember right, I think the recordblanks guys CLAIMED that it was softer than the MYSHANK bla...
