Seeking Reliable Lathe Cutting Service
I'm new to the forums (though I apparently signed up 3 years ago) and have been searching all morning for a list of reliable lathe cutting services still in business. I'm in the process of recording 2 new songs a month for all of 2014 and I'd like to have 5 lathe 7" singles cut for each month (just for myself, nothing commercial).
Here's what I'm looking for specifically, maybe one of you can point me in the right direction?
I need:
- 5 lathes, 7-inch double-sided singles (preferably black, large holes)
- white label with black ink (I'd design the label)
- turnaround of 4 to 6 weeks (or less)
And that's pretty much all I need. I'll have around $50 a month to spend on these and I already have 2 songs ready to go from January. Little help? Thanks in advance!

And of course now I see where you have a section specific to exactly what I need. Did I mention I'm new? haha

The blank large hole black 7" dubs cost $11 each plus shipping from apollo. Not to mention cutting time, etc. To stay within your budget you will probably have to settle for clear plastic cuts from me (lathecuts.com) or Tragwag: (audiogeography). But my usual minimum is 20...

Re: Seeking Reliable Lathe Cutting Service
A pal of mine used lathecuts.com recently and I was impressed with the results. I can't even come close to affording 20 copies a month though. BUT I will definitely keep you in mind for future releases. You do great work. I'll check out the others you mentioned.

Cool. My cuts have even gotten better in the last couple weeks! I can possibly work with you on short runs if you print the labels yourself. Hit me up through lathecuts.com via email.

Re: Seeking Reliable Lathe Cutting Service
I certainly will! After looking at the cost of materials I think I'm gonna have to adjust my expectations on price. Instead of $50 for 5 I'm gonna try $50 for 2.
I'll hit you via your site and see if we can agree on a system somewhere. Thanks, man!
