Moving into vinyl cutting. Which cutter???

Hi everyone,
My name is Liam and I currently run a vintage analog studio in the Derbyshire peak district UK. A lot of my audio gear is ex BBC equipment. Namely a very rare 1970’s Calrec J Series outside Broadcast system comprising of 8 channels into 4 sub groups into stereo L&R out. I also have a good amount of outboard gear including some vintage Urei filter sets, Ssl compressors amongst other things. So to cut a long story short I am a 40 year old Arborist and I’ve run my own company for over 20 years. My body is now shot and the time has come to use the studio I have built to make some money. However as nice as my space is I am aware that the recording industry is so heavily diluted with many studios that I will struggle to get enough work. This has led me to the conclusion that I need to offer a more specialised service.
This has been narrowed down to cutting vinyl from recordings in my studio amongst other cutting activities.
I have researched this world of cutting and know friends who have thought about going down the same path.
I would greatly appreciate some advice on which way to go with this. I DO have a budget from machinery I am selling from my forestry business and have been looking into the vinyl recorder from Germany. However I have heard mixed reviews on the machine and the service from the company. It would also involve a trip to south Germany which makes things a little more difficult.
I would be more so pleased if someone could help me through this process of obtaining a lathe and the equipment to make this a viable option for the future!
Many thanks and I hope you are all well.
Regards
Liam.
