Blanks..

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.

Hello all..

After some serious ground work, I have sourced blanks in 2mm.

We can get black 12", 7" in 2mm with protective film. We will need to place order for bulk.

Question is - who will use these blanks if we can supply? Obviously we would be competitive on the other stores.

I'd be interested if it's PETG.

If it's Europe then I would be interested. We are not exactly spoiled for choice. I don't think you would have trouble undercutting them if you'll pardon the phrase...

Just an update - the Chinese blanks had too much surface noise, so I am back to the drawing board with this.

I will get somewhere - I am determined.

Has anyone on here had any luck with Chinese PETG? I tried and it was noisy. Hard to deal with them too... Black was an issue too.. .

We are reasonably sure that most the time it isn’t even PETG when coming from China. People have tried it and it varies massively in terms what they get. If you want PETG go to a reputable supplier. Lots of good companies make it, but quality will be bad if buying cheap elsewhere

hi
go to Mulfords plastic in your city
https://www.mulfordplastics.com/

ask for clear PETG 1.5mm (no black)

roll it up and put it in your car then go to a CnC company and get all the circles you want..I have a few prestos and one I only use to cut the blanks out ..i cut them into squares then cut them out on the 8n i use a ofla blade and place it where the head goes and I can cut most sizes out..my edges are the smoothest Ive ever seen ..

if you want colour the you need to get 2x0.75mm petg sheet then paint and glue together then cut out..hard to do you just need the right glue and paint...
ive been cutting clear for 10years now forget black Iam not a pressing plant.haha..

I can supply you if you like free post in Australia go to my web site and see prices..
