STEEL NEEDLES

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 people, can I utilize a steel needle (mounted on an Astatic cristal cutter), for to cut plastic vinyl "hard" disks , or I must utilize sapphire stylus ?

Thanks.
