The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

i think they are overpriced. I don't know what happened but before those two auction that went for 700$ and more, the price was normal - 500$..

Also, at one point, back when I was trying out all sorts of materials with an Apollo stylus, I did cut a good sounding groove onto a tan vinyl one sided record. I tried it again once or twice briefly and didn't have the sane luck, but I know it is somewhat possible, because I still have that record...

Also I can add that in Disk recording vol.1 is clearly stated difference in sapphire and ruby. If there is a need I can find the page no... heh

Hi,

if there will be youtube channel divoted to disk recording would be amazing. And when the pros are in those vids that would be a goldmine for future.

Information that is sitting on cd's doesn't help a bit

What?

David, you have done a very nice job there. Good progress. Good to see a DIY lathe and the cutter born. I have done a lot of DIY lathe and cutter. There is a lot to learn and to do. I just want to point you that every vibrating part should be as light as possible and bonded very good to each other. ...

So you can confirm it is too stiff or it does not work for you other way? i havent tried to cut yet. drilled more holes to the oil plate inside the suspension. it went more loose. there is different oil for these suspensions. really it have to be very soft and not stiff that is for sure. if too stif...

Hmm maybe you would not get a full schematics of a pro cutter. Well I haven't found one yet. First I think You have to buy one and understand how things works and then you could try to clone one ;) I have tried some things. But nothing good to use and have decent results. Needs a lot of time and mon...

Hey,

you came come to Lithuania-Vilnius...not too far from Krakow. Again nothing connected with vinyl and we have 2 vinyl shops here...
But I can show you Vilnius and we could drink some coffee

Cheers

Hey Fraggle, wanted to know more about you suspension from RC car. I have got back to experimenting with that again. And came a long the same problems that is too stiff. Tried changing oil and chaged inserts with more holes for oil to pass freely. Maybe you have done some more modifications to it or...

Interesting reading and very nice movie. Always watching this kind with pleasure.

I think that kind of silvering should be very economical solution. When spraying not all the solution is used. And here is like developing silver prints

@Flozki yes, I understand that it could produce some rumble. But this planar reducer is best of all what I see to used that is most silent. Well... Anyway I think I would try to cut a silent groove when I will be ready and will see the result... Anyway if I will achieve some kind of result I will po...

I was thinking a little more drastic things to try... That is battery drill mechanism. As I have tried with colleagues to put it on the big wind machines in diameter of 1meter and they handled very well. Used them with PWM. They were quite stable and powerfull. Of course I cannot tell how stable the...

Thanks Jay, this is exactly what I wanted to know.

So you use it as belt drive motor?

Then maybe you have a link on simple how to control it with hall sensor?

hmmm... nice then... When I tested was quite some time ago, so do not remember all the cons about it, but I switched to another type of motor. Can you discribe more about TT motor? What exact model of motor are you using and hall sensor. I am into thoughts right now about it for my lathe. Seems like...

Jay, I have tried this but it was too much of a stepping. Not smooth as it should be. First I thought of a linistepper for this purpose but got dc motor with tacho generator and it works very nice. Btw I used half stepping and linistepper driver can do microstepping. Of course as I understand it is ...

Hey JayDC

Nice work. Just a little question here.
What kind of driver are you using for stepper motor? Microstepping, halfstepping? I have tried and it was bad for me. Too much noise and too much pronounced steps.

Anyway You have done a very nice control unit.

heh... nice...

for my car I need brakes... 2 pieces
And the cap... em... 710 I think.


I think the guys ment that You need to be more specific about parts you need. That is maybe diameter length material or smth....

p.s. who didn't understood about the cap 710. turn your head 180 degrees... OIL

Hmmmm...

It would be very interesting to know what kind of material that was from vestax. If cutable with sapphire it would be very interesting....
