You will save a lot of money finding someone close by. There is a plastic company in pretty much every major city I'd imagine. There are like 10 within 50 miles of me. That stuff is expensive to ship. I generally go to local shops and dig through their scrap bin for a buck or two a pound. If you wa...

Where do you get your acrylic discs cut / made / etc?
Hi All, So … where do you get your acrylic discs at? Are you using an online supplier, or someone local? Are you just cutting acrylic discs out of sheet at home? I've been researching online suppliers, but they all seem to be about the same … which is I contact them for a quote on 50 12 inch pieces,...

Haven't you said you have a meter tapped on the line between your amp and your cutterhead? This would giv...

So I guess I'll begin considering and looking for an amp to replace the original one. Since the groove width issues appear to be a plate vs cd issue, I guess I'll stick with cds for the time being - they're certainly cheap enough.

Thank you both for all the suggestions. I already need a VU meter as the one on the front of the amp isnt working. I'll get that one replaced, and perhaps an inline backup going this week. I also have lights, just didnt use then since I was cutting on such soft material(s) the first day. I'll work w...

Rek-o-kut M-12 and R-8A wiring diagrams / help
Hello All, Just picked up a M-12 cutter on a TR-12H turntable along with the R-8A amp via local auction. It was disassembled, so I need some help wiring it and getting it going again. Does anyone have wiring diagrams or schematics for these? I've got it just about back together; turntable is on and ...

I'd like to get a lathe set up for cutting on the most durable substance I can...
