Re: Has anyone made metal from a PC dub cut yet?

Re: Scully Lathe & Lathe Expert - Needed ASAP on East Coast, USA

NO WAY JOSE - NOT MY LATHE - Your going to assume transporting a Scully from somewhere to NYC, you might as well pay the owner UP-FRONT insurance for $300k or more incase the unforeseen happens.

Re: Lathe Cut = synonymous with Crap

Here we are in 2021, before 2015 lathe cuts were certainly crap. But not until yours truly, Rich Flores at NY lathe cuts, I re developed the sapphire embossing stylus that was invented by Frank L.

Would you mind sharing what kind and size of lap you used and at what RPM?
And what material were you faceting?
Thanks...

Re: Is stereo embossing possible?

The answer is NO I've worked on this for more than a year embossing variouse plastics and faceting two different cone tip angles for theWestrex cutter head stylus, 87 degrees and 90 degrees hoping to get a good stereo separation.
