Need an actual lathe to test injection molded discs.

Anything goes! Inventors! Artists! Cutting edge solutions to old problems. But also non-commercial usage of record cutting. Cost- effective, cost-ineffective, nutso, brilliant, terribly fabulous and sometimes fabulously terrible ideas.

So I’ve managed to get rid of all the grand caynon sized pot holes in my recycled plastic records but I’ve put the cart before the horse and don’t really have a proper lathe. Just a gakken and two recordios on various stages of repair.

Considering getting some grant money from the local arts board to get a presto in the future but for now I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in trying one of these out. Willing to entertain offers too.

Are you injection molding records with grooves in them or just blank flat discs?
