The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

how about mounting a slotted or toothed gead onto the lead screw and a hall effect devive to pick up the pulses as long as the carrage always starts a the same point you could work out the distance traveled by the pulses just like a car ecu knows the cam position of the cam from a toothed gear and s...

The lines per inch remain constant all the way a 1KHz signal cut at begining has just as wide groove as at the center or on playback the level of signal would drop as the stylus reches the center.

my pitch is set prior to cutting using belts and pullys. i have thourght about a stepper motor and circuit but I dont know enough about record cutting yet to do the mod but would be a nice addon when i get a stereo head. if the motor was mounted properly the ticks shouldnt be a problem the circuit s...

On my 8N overhead i have oil damper and also there is a ajustable mounting for where you want the head to sit I dont know if this is standard or someone made it as my lathe has lots of mods on the overhead.the carrage is made of a 8N on the front and a 6N is fitted to the rear and steped pullys cone...

sappire has little grain so cutting and polishing is easy compered to a diamond with has grain to deal with. I also seen that you can get ruby stli for the ortofon dss heads.

My 8N has vari pitch from one lead screw 83 to 302 lines per inch it was converted by Mr john d harmer prestident and chief engineer of capital city sound recording co. and he even sent me the write up which he published in broadcast engineering detailing how the mod was done using the 8N overhead a...

Would like somthi...

Hello... I have read something on the net quote "The biggest threat to cd is the revival of vinyl wich is slowly gong up while cd is is slowly going down in sales. new digital formats are taking over from cd but vinyl gets stronger every day" Ye Ha .

Hi lewis very busy at moment at work so not got anything done to the amp. have made a active RIAA network though and am runing one of the 500w lateral n channel mosfet amp modules I make no feedback yet but gives good results so cant wait till I get time to use feedback.

There is a good starter lathe on ebay at the moment but may be a little pricey but it has everything I posted it here a few days ago is a presto 6N

Very cheeky didnt think ebay alowed that!

the feedback acts as a servo system controling resonances and improving frequency responce its applied out of phase to the input signal of the drive amp thus canceling out unwanted resonaces. its expalaned in the other section in detail.h

Think is it the platter for a lathe but never see anything like. would be good for a vinylilium overhead and cutter

seen this look good
