The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

sold

Hi, I'm selling Souri vacuum pump. Price is 130E, located in EU. Pump works perfectly. I will try to post photos tomorrow. Send me a DM or email if you need a quick response. Thanks!

i'd be more concerned about my ears, rather than anything happen by heating a blank up to 40-50C.

Hi, I just watched this documentary and find it very interesting. I wasn't sure where to post it, so if mods think there is a better place please move it

My guess is that some people would be 'scared' of the term 'lathe cut', that's why they are trying to hide it

from a DJ perspective this is the thing i hate the most on older 7". from now on when i order 7" i will explicitly ask to have them without anti-slip ring (just in case)

Are you talking about those (...)? Hello zdenek, exactly! Model 602. I want to know more about the employed transducers. Any further information is highly appreciated. As far as i know he wanted to build a different design from the heads that are most common nowadays, that's why it looks much diffe...

Hi, I remember someone posted such a table long time ago but can't find it anymore. Does anyone have it or maybe if someone knows the formula how to calculate it myself? Thanks!

i have plastic 'outer' sleeves for 'sealed' 8" records. send me DM if you are interested, im in EU

So guys i want to warm up this thread a little bit. Long time working on my diy press. Thanks to mark and thomas for turning my brain on and collect some ideas. I am working hard on this project to make my dream come true: pressing some records like in your backyard or lets say basement. I have a h...

it's a shame that less than 100 people donated and there are almost 6000 registered users...

in the past i've tried picture discs with 2 blanks and paper between them with 3M spray glue. after some period of time when you bend the record both parts split. since then i started with double side foil, you may break on of the sides but wont be able to separate them. to get rid of the bubbles i ...

Thanks Displacedsnail! I think I got confused by the newbie guide, under the diamond cutting needle section it lists . (PC, PVC, PETG, LD/A) so I assumed PC was able to be cut with a diamond. The trouble I am having is the embossing grooves are to shallow for a 7” I’m trying to do for a friend who ...

@mossboss, If you open the site and scroll down to the end of the page you will find the calculator - 1 sold unit - they earn 33.90GBP - you earn 8GBP, 1000 sold recs - 9100 GBP for the artist. It's not bad (for them)

Very very interesting, I still maintain that the economics past 50 copies do not add up! Also, Assuming that pressing plants with in house cut plate outfits reduce the cost to clients, as well as outside suppliers of cuts and metal work, then it is a case of how long this will last! So assume a lac...

use the cleaning fluid. souri said 'leave it overnight' or 'give a lot of heat', so a few times i've tried the 2nd option. put cleaning fluid on ear cleaning stick, put the diamond on top of it and give a lot of heat. it starts smoking but also plastic gets removed. don't leave it for long, i see th...

could there automation be some cheap immigrant workers? 'fake it till you make it' way... also, people here are trying to build a lathe for years, how they gonna have so many machines? or maybe a few cutters got together to form a bigger entity...
