First real cut with Diamond

[crowesBR]

Ok all
So this was my first real cut with diamond and my Presto 6N.
So have been fighting static for the last 2 weeks.
Nightmare.

So I decided to do something different this time.
Washed my blank with water and dish soap first.
Dried with microfiber and applied MyShank anti static fluid.

No ionizer. Just a heating lamp. And no gloves.

This is my result.




Thoughts? I'm not a expert. But the sound I can have a little more high frequencies.

At least my vacuum worked.

good job!

is it just a silent groove or did you cut some music?

either way thats good you got your vacuum working

[crowesBR]

Thanks.
Yeah added my vacuum tube on from of the cutter head. Instead of the back. Works for me.
Tried in the back but didn't worked that well.

That's music

Will try upload to Soundcloud next.

I think I can get a little more loud. More high end frequencies too.

My other problem now is that my handheld vacuum can be on for no more than 10 minutes.

Now need to find a new vacuum so I can at least cut one side

But that's progress for me.

yeah it looks like you can cut louder.

you want the needle to cause excursions and see more wiggles in the grooves but not too many wiggles or the grooves will connect and the playback needle will just jump around.

keep on playing with it until you find that sweet spot.

Cool. Will try that next.
Need to find a vacuum now to hold more than 20 minutes
