Re: stylus heating question (plastic)
Thank you for your quick reply. The FEP insulation can withstand at least 250°C, which is sufficient for the stylus. In your picture with wire winding, the coil is largely without contact. But if they were touching (without insulation) there would probably be a powerful short circuit with temperatur...

Re: stylus heating question (plastic)
Not exactly. OK so the method I use is as follows: 1) cut off a couple of inches of wire (length = 2 x distance of stylus from binding posts, plus 8 x windings, plus a little spare at each end to hold on to) 2) mount the stylus in the head 3) tie one end of the wire to a binding post, leave a littl...

Hey ! Nice vacuum set up! Well built ! For the filter on mine I use makeup little Cotton rags tape under the succion intake and it work well. Looks a bit like your filter. Thank you and glad you like it. My filter consists of the coarse dust filter that usually comes with the dust bags for househol...

Re: The farmer and his plow - When I set out to build a record cutter
Hi Thomas Great project, amazing, thanks for posting the project. Good to read. I am swapping to a channel blower from a vacuum pump. Just got an old one on ebay to try out. Need more power. Best Nik Yes, the disadvantage of the vacuum pump is the lack of air volume (and the pulsating air column). ...

Re: Marathon for the development of a DIY cutter in 20 days (and the opening of the first record cutting service in Ukra
Nice to hear from you again, and that it continues! Small steps are also steps and ultimately lead to the goal. Many years ago, when I was faced with a seemingly unsolvable task (as a manager in the automotive industry) because the overall scope was too large and confusing, a wise old manager said t...

VACUUM Part 4 - The chip container I actually built the chip container much later, but it fits in with the theme. I would therefore like to present the work here. First I had to rework the CNC-manufactured lid on the lathe. The grooves for the sealing rubber were not deep enough and so the lid woul...

Re: Scribing Platforms £80.00 GBP
Looks great! Beautiful work, beautiful material. Price is also fair. I already have something like this, but if I didn't, I would buy it. I have one question: Does it rest on the front of the turntable or does it hang completely from the center pivot? And if it rests on the platter, at what distance...

Re: The farmer and his plow - When I set out to build a record cutter
We were thinking about such a solution for extracting copper chips, but unfortunately the relative vacuum pressure is too low and we had to decide on a much more powerful relative screw pump and, as a last resort, we used a supercharger compressor from a Volkswagen, [a real madness of noise], it mu...

Re: Weird grooves
The pictures are good and easy to recognize. At times no cut! Cut starts, runs for a few seconds, then cut ends again. Is that the way I see it? The video also shows the vibrating head well. Although the slab blank is flat. Music can be heard. The stylus looks good. My question: Does this also happe...

Re: Anyone used Staticide?
I have been using this for years. https://cramolin-shop.de/antistatik-spraydose-200ml.html Without this spray, the cutting thread usually remains in the groove and is difficult to remove. The "crackling" noise is also almost eliminated. Do not smoke as flammable, do not inhale, causes eye irritation...
