The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

hi. Good news. How about shipping fees outside UK. Price for 100 - 12". 1,5mm? 2mm?

As you see more information would be nice.

modern xrays are not good. both sides are emultions. older ones had one side matted - emulsion and other side was shiny. so the cutting should be done on shiny side.



best luck.

Dub Studio there is similar experiencies here... Always to find sweet spot and connection in that. But very interesting about plate temperature. If I remember corectly 2years ago I was cutting quite a lot of blanks with one stylus. Temperature was up to 30C to blank and little stylus heating - dont ...

Thank you Dub Studio for such in depth information. It is very interesting. Some years ago I tried to work with blanks at 25degrees but stylus weared out very quickly. So I decided not to experiment at that temperature and to keep up to 40 degrees. Of course stylus heating current was quite low. Wha...

Definately with new stylus, blank heating to 40C - with or without stylus heating for me is the same results. Tried couple of times with different current. When too much current it seems like some crackling noise appear. Another question is can you overheat and what consequences will lead. Can it le...

bearing 3 plate - that one I had in mind. It can unscrew by itself, maybe not but better to secure it in place. There are different types of ready made bronze bearings. I never tried them but I think it would be nicer to use ready made. Some sliding bearings are with a cut others without, so better ...

Hey. Nice drawing! I can be wrong but i would not do platter from two seperate parts. I would make it in one peace. Can be trouble to make it pricise without runout. If you will use brass bearings then everything should be polished etc. Anyway it can work if machined correctly. Bearing 3 i think nee...

I am in the line here for 511 schematic please

Mark!
Thanks for reupload. looking nice.
The link to the music also missing. do you still have the file?

yep. Should be nice to continue on this thread.

monoplex, your dreams are in the correct path

hey! very nice machining!
did you do the Vtale linear slide yourself?

looks interesting when cutter is down the TT pitch goes like -10%

you are welcome. yes it goes very accurate. i thought again and really did not get any better solution than caruso preamp.

basplin i grately suggest you take flo caruso psb. very good preamp with riaa. everything you need. sound very good. in my time i have overcome a lot of problems. i dont know the price but when i bought... the first version, maybe 8 years ago it still works like i charm. used with cutters with and w...

Localcult - whats your location?

hey everyone

wanted to try DrCuts and having a problem loading it on Ableton Live 9 32bit. On audacity plugin is working good.

thanks for info.

I had an old magazine that was monthly printed about newest things in technology and stuff during soviet times. there was a article about vinyl cutting. I will try to find, scan it and maybe if have time to translate...

best regards.

In the post by Sturiorp on the lathe there is a writing that translated in: Construction by radio-hobbyist Apparatus for sound recording on "bones" (X-ray film) Radio-hobbyist - mechanic is unknown Given to museum by Suchoverhovym E.V. :) as i know during that time they recorded music on "bones" fro...

Sometimes people say stupid things. If there is something that we should all know then it is OK. The only thing that it have to be very heavy information and it should be confirmed by any means if someone wants to say on someone or someone's work. This is logical position of my point of view. Most p...
