The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

one of the things my father taught me and i have also passed to my son is " there is no such thing as a free lunch". Have the times and people changed that much?

Jesus, im jealous of whoever is gonna end up with this lathe,nice mix of old time engineering and modern functional mod,very nice asthetics as well.

Im not traumatized but jealous for sure! I quite like the tropical edition,would fit right in in my studio cuz i live in the tropics.

Sad to hear bout Magnetovolt,but in life as 1 door closes thousands more open up. Checked out your new site...wow,great looking n informative right off the bat. Everything listed thus far makes me feel like im kid inna candy store! just want to thank you for always sharing knowledge and experiences ...

Drum machine reggae? Nothing,abosolutely nothing touches Duke Reids or Sir Coxone Dodds,not to mention pressure sounds,and others of course...these recordings,height of J.A,s golden era of music recordings,between treasure isle,studio 1,and the master players of instruments,,arrangers,engineers huge...

That costco set up would really work,in just 30 seconds,breakthru i think.

Les Paul and the birth of the Arcturus,wicked! They dont make people like they used to! I trust your having a mild winter on yourside of the pacific n you K8 is behaving Gridlock.

Hi,you should pm the victorolaguy,im sure he can give you alot of insight. Not sure but i think back then they were making shellac records that actually had abrassives in it so that the needle would wearout instead of the record wearing out due to the heavy weight of the horn n soundbox. Athoa,just ...

Check out Myshank,Stevens got something on there just to do what want. The peeler probably will work as well,but probably one side at a time. Ive done it before just with scissors sharp edge,but i dont even bother anymore,the square edge is fine for me,dont need the extra work n extra plastic shavin...

Epic! Solutions,finding solutions,your projects are always inspirational,but youve raised the bar waaay to high for me on this Fairchild project! Go down to Mexico and relax Brian...you deserve it if thats what how you spend your weekends. Big shout out from Taiwan.

not to derail but I had luck before with a regularly faced diamond stylus, using it like a backwards sapphire. greetings Tyler,just wondering when you used the diamond to emboss,was the tip worn down or was it stil in good cutting condition? I tried with my 1st diamond,but the groove was looking li...

Mike,thanks again for hooking me up. Wonder why diamonds dont work as cones for embossing? Maybe Steven has got some insight on this and probably doesnt have diamond emossing cones as one of his stylis for sale cuz he probably came to the same conclusion.

Tenshun,been testing out some of PIAPTK sapphire cone as of late,took me about 6 cuts to fine tune my weight n angle settings on my lathe, once i got there,the results were very pleasing to my ears. I,ve embossed to pc before with the tungsten cones ,which i thought was pretty good already,but with ...

Is it true that the human ears listen to sounds in mono? If its true ,then stereo is just an illusion precieved by our brain? Can someone clearify this for me,as im no expert. Quality is a subjective view. I have come across many scratched,worn out records that ive bought,just cuz i love the music,a...

forget i even asked lol Hey Fred,why dont you ask PIAPTK at lathecuts.com, for embossing on PC im sure he has been dedicated to the art long enuff to know about getting black PC. I think i had read in old posts in past years that Todd from Deepgrooves mastering had a source for black PC as well. If...

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...

Wow, you never fail to impress me with your innovative solutions to problems, your wealth of knowledge n experience is mind blowing for someone like me! The addition of the hand crank to overide the motor makes me wanna have that on my rek o kut m12 overhead , which doesnt have one, but I almost alw...
