black lexan

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.

I've used it before (black lexan and makrolon) it worked great!

I'm not sure! as far as setting depth, I have more luck with 2mm myself. the 1.5mm are fine, but in my experience the 1mm are a little hard to dial in.
