5 in blank discs?

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.

This may sound off the wall. The lids from butter tubs and similar packaging can work. I used them when I started experimenting. I don't remember if I cut or embossed but it came out with hardly anybsurfafe noise. And this was with lo fi equipment. Ask at a deli in a store. The stuff they put out comes in large tubs and they might be getting rid of some that day.
totally! that stuff is food safe PETG
just lower tolerance for flatness, small diameter, and comes with a lip on it
