Bone Record

[BillyJoelShaver]

Hi all. New here, hope this is relevant to this forum.

Bought some Soviet Era 'Bone Records' on EBay. They turned out to be fakes (way too clean to be old). But it got me thinking about cutting my own records. Bought a lathe and been experimenting.

Long story short, found an X-ray and made a 'Bone Record' today of my friends band.

Sounds like hell, but they never sound that great anyway.

That is gnarly

This is a very complex process, there are several technologies for cutting x-rays. In Russia there is a book in which various cutting technologies are described in detail.

that looks cool!

i have tried cutting on x-rays with sapphire and it was a nightmare. You have to use a diamond to get it to work right but even the swarf that comes up from cutting can get tangled around the stylus causing mess ups.

I think x rays in the old days probably were made of a different material then they are today?

Has anybody tried this with the VR? Seeing as it uses a diamond stylus, I thought I would ask.

More importantly: would you recommend trying this out? I'm specifically worried about swarf suction, I don't want it clogging or gumming up my vacuum tubes.

Any advice or comments are appreciated!
