Hello.
I can find blank PVC/polystyrine slices online:

How can I easily cut grooves into them to prepare the PVC/polystyrine discs for vinyl recording?.
I could select density and depth.
Less depth allows for more re-recording cycles, but with higher danger of the needle sliding off.
More density allows for more recording length on same space, however a narrow width of the spiral track can also cause sliding off and sacrificing audio quality as much as recorder incompatibility. I will find a balanced density manually.

Re: Groove cutting into blank PVC slice?
Hi,
You don't pre-cut any grooves. The groove is made during the cutting process. You will need to design a lathe and cutter head to accomplish this. Do some searching here and you will see quite a few examples of DIY lathes and heads.
