blank vinyl out of old vinyl ?

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Hello, I wanted to know if anybody ever managed to make usable blank vinyl out of normal vinyl record. Maybe with sand paper or by melting them and flattenning them in some way ?

When a customer asks you that, you gotta do one of those crescendo laughs where it starts as just a chuckle and and ends in full on belly laugh with convulsions and mild tears. And, as you're catching your breath and wiping the tears from your eyes, you pour them a snifter of your finest Porter and resume... "ANYway, .."
