The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

What are your take on it ? You should check this post out by Mike: https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=8328 Welcome to the world of record cutting. It's super expensive no matter how you look at it. I've been cutting for a while now and am still hemmoraging money in my business. But I ...

Personally, I have had nothing but great experiences with Souri. Patience is probably the best advice I can give you. My process took quite some time but it was all worth it in the end.

I assume you are cutting with a VR?

Sorry for the dumb question. Have you tried re-calibrating the needle/head again to see if it fixes the issue?

You can always use an external amp to power the cutter head. You really need to find a cutting head though. I do have some experience with a K-8 as it was my first lathe. I'd be happy to chime in and help where I can.

Good luck.

I SWEAR I stumbled on a post a while back where someone said they knew the make/model of the motor that powered the overhead. :shrugs:

Sorry to hear you were ghosted. Hopefully you can get this ironed out and get back up and running again.

The issue has reared it's ugly head once again! Yesterday at 2pm, 33 degrees outside (much hotter inside) and i had been cutting all day, so the VR had a lot of use that day. I've been reading the points people made and testing things, so due to the metal, sounds like the spring can't change tensio...

original good tweeters are from silk whit the cutterhead whit feedback. Is the another generation from souris cutter. About repair.. or make yourself or talk whit me, is your decision, I only offer my services. Too expasive? I thing not! more expensive is that they don't give you technical support....

Hi soeffingodly, soeffingodly Wrote :- I had to prop it up a bit. I used tragwag's suggestion that he employed; a few pieces of cardboard underneath. :) Its more flexible than being locked into the built-in feet like a 1200 but it also presents its own challenges when recalibrating, etc. [/i][/b] W...

So far I have yet to experience any wow or flutter like I did with the original 1200. Especially at the outer edge or with marginally warped discs. Mike gave me a great deal. I'm super grateful. Heard the electronics can get crazy in them though. I would have gone SP-10 MKII but I couldn't pass this...

I'm using an SP-15 and I have zero issues with it needing an extra push. I would assume the SP-10 shouldn't need anything "extra" either.

Update Apparently the VR is designed so that when there’s heavy bass, all left and right sounds are automatically panned to the middle, making it more mono. Not entirely mono, but definitely less stereo. I did a test with equalizing the same piece. Cutting away excessive bass, with the result that ...

Mine doesn't seem to have any give, feels tight front to back. Not to hijack the thread but is anyone familiar with how to remove the overhead for maintenance/trouble shooting? another tight one, hrm mines floppy :D you should be able to oil up the feedscrew from the underside thats about all i hav...

Hi, i am a newbie here, is that stereo or mono?and where is your location..thanks

Welcome! It's a mono head.

I hope you get a reply. Good luck and I hope someone can assist!

Curious to know, if you don't mind sharing, is this the same lathe you had posted about selling a few days prior? Change of heart? Same lathe model but not the same lathe. I sold my Presto stuff last year. As far as I know the gent who got my K8 still has it. I just wish I had a nice, portable, sma...

On the PSU, the connector/end that would normally plug into the appliance, i snipped that off. Then in the main unit, the section that is circled in the image, disconnect the white block form the board (this is the power to the EQ piggy backed from Pitch motor), then snip that white block off. Then...

Ah haha! Well, thanks! It was extremely useful! I used this for my PSU (link below), chopped the wires and chop blocked them together.... I've had no issues so far in over a year. Also i posted the other day in here about Noise ID, a very weird sound that was kinda like when you get plastic stuck t...
