Half inch lathe cut video

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.

Half inch lathe cut video

in this vid the half inch record had to be raised a bit to get inside on the cut and on playback i had to bend the stylus holder to its far right to meet the grooves in line..both cuts are 1.5mm thick. and yes it sounds horrible ..on the VR eq i had to put it all down to do it..

I hate the sound of my own voice so I havent made a clip of how I do it yet but its not hard...this is all made on the VR
lift the 1200 off the base and up onto the VR base feet then move it to the right as far as you can take it this will let your head go all the way pass the middle "be carefull not to let it run out of its thread ",then you need to re calibrate your head and move it up making sure that the diamond is in line with the spindle point the whole time.

:D thankyou all for the nice comments biglove ..

That is pretty amazing. You should apply for a Guinness Book of World Records record. Doubt that anyone can beat that!
