Flexdisc material

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.

since I havent touched or heard it , im not sure.
maybe pvc or a type of hobby glass.
it could be just hobby glass in which case it would probaly have a bit of surface noise, but that would really depend on the rig used.

Again, not sure as I am not familiar with this particular release.

It says it's a flexi... is that not just acetate?

this one is bad-ass though...

How to drill the centerhole into a mirror? And cutting it? Maybe there's a coating on it?

I saw wolfeyes here (vancouver, canada) last year, but no lathe cuts at the merch table :cry:

Awesome [loud] show, though. Played with Sick LLama.

Hmm.

regarding the transparant plasticplate, he might have some tricks, because they sound like crap, at least thats what people have said about them here...
