CDR Cutting ?

[Doug6N]

Hi everyone:

I see a lot of posts about using CDR for cutting. I have a question. What do you do about center hole size. Make an adaptor to fit the present size center or somehow cut the center hole larger and then use a 45 adaptor?

How are those involved in this doing it?

Thanks

I'm still in the experimenting stages, so others may have better answers. My Recordette came with a little metal adaptor that clamps whatever media I want to the platter. It works great for CD-rs when I'm scratching to them. It also works well for playback on other turntables.

If you check some of the posts on the "Cutters and Their Works" forum you will see a few different methods people have used. The one I like the best is the plastic 45 adaptor that someone glued to the center of a CD-r. I figure these are cheap, and solve the issue of hole size relatively easy.

The second picture down is the one I'm talking about.

Hi Self-Lather:

I've been reading your posts of trials and tribulations. I wish you the best in getting the bugs out of your setup.

Thanks for the reply and info. I'll do some more searching around on this forum.

these work good



you will have to use a little tape or a weight to help with the cutting though,but they work well for playback, you could also just kind of rip the same thing out of a cd case.

What are those for, and where do you find them?

Thats it.
Seems like those are self-adhesive adapters for CDs

yea they are self adhesive cd things
You can just cut them out from cd cases to start, but lots of places that sell cd rs online have them too.

sorry to be a complete noob but are you talking about cutting onto the non-play upper surface of a CDR?

I had no idea that was possible...

Hi:

Yep. I've not done myself yet but that's the idea as I understand it. Hey! I'm on a learning curve here too.

Seams to be many materials the folks cut on.

Hi Doug,

I clicked that link and just wow
I had no idea you could cut into stuff like cardboard and laser discs!

I've been trying to create an introduction thread but I have to be a member for 5 days or something before I can do that?
