The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Wait, hold up -- you roll into a thread for a business that supplies My Shank products to the UK, with an accusation that a product they sell is simply rebranded PETG - and you do all of this with nothing more than an image of a random analysis ... and I am "rude" and "unprofessional" for asking you...

WHOA, how easily do people give up their critical thinking skills these days? 🙄 nice try... FTIR... :lol: Well, maybe they will finally now stop going on about it being PET :lol: TheVinylCountdown -- are you aware of the limitations of FTIR to analyse polymers? Please supply the entire report. I wil...

TheVinylCountdown , If you are in the UK and engaged in commercial activity then you are legally required to use trade waste services. You can't funnel it through household waste, even if your commercial activity is from a residential address. With the pressed blanks, you can inform the company tha...

I had forgotten about updating this thread! Here is one completed earlier in the year, although we took the order back in August of 2024. Kudos to our customer (Daupe Media) for their patience while we waited for My Shank pressed blanks to be available in 7" format. Robert - Trenches featuring Liam ...

I've sent a reply.

This styli had around 100 records cut when this happened, it's the blanks that are different, this happened right after cutting a pressed blank

You'd need to have recalibrated your system before starting on the pressed.

Cheers,

Hi jtb -- I don't have a PM from you?

Hello jtb - Warped Blanks: most 12" blanks I have are warped… I would question why this is the case. If they are being stored correctly, and you’re following the guidelines for temperature (ambient) and where/how you heat the blanks, then you shouldn’t be getting ‘mostly warped blanks’. We have used...

Thelatheofus - yes it is.

Hi Thelatheofus -- it fits on any turntable.

Thanks trailerparkjesus -- it certainly adds a classy touch to a release. Not cheap by any means, but on the right project it's great.

Couldn't even spell our name correctly :lol: but such an honour to be named working with such great artists, "Wire’s Graham Lewis, Throbbing Gristle’s Cosey Fanni Tutti, and even one of Lee “Scratch” Perry’s final recordings" and "Adi Newton from electronic experimentalists Clock DVA" "Long live Hea...

Podorvanov - if we did we would only be able to sell within the UK. Contact My Shank and see what can be done.

Thank you displacedsnail!

Hello renegadedubhatter Sorry to hear about your troubles. Did you try any of the suggestions that My Shank sent in the email to you this morning? We haven't had any customers reporting any issues. I've personally cut several hundred of these now -- and all of the variants -- and aside from a couple...
