While it's true that lathe cuts may exhibit some initial surface noise, pops, and cracks when played, these almost always disappear with time. Our commitment to enhancing the sound quality of our lathe-cut records has been a top priority. We are unable to add any modifications to the photos you’ve uploaded. No important elements such as text or faces are out of frame.Īfter placing an order it is highly likely we have already sent it to our in-house team for review, so unless there are very specific circumstances we typically do not allow this.The photo is high resolution and at least 300 DPI otherwise the printed covers &/or center labels may be blurry.The photo is taken in good lighting (outdoor daylight is best).If you follow these photo guidelines, then yes your photo is very likely good enough to use: We also offer audio mastering to ensure the sound quality of your record has the highest fidelity possible.Īs soon as we receive your order our in-house team gets to making your cover, stickers and downloading your music so they can lathe-cut them into your record. This process in itself is an art that demands precision, patience, and lots of craftsmanship - so please be patient throughout the process. We highly recommend all customers purchase priority processing if they are getting their records as a gift and/or have a in deadline in mind to receive their record.

If I make another of these I’ll check the RPM.Our typically processing times range from 5-14 business days, although in very rare circumstances it may take up to 25 business days. I didn’t bring out the techometer to measure the spindle speed but it was pretty low. I ran it at 30 inches per minute cutting speed.

In this case I used a four flute, 1/16? endmill. After cleanup in Sketchup to make sure the endmill can pass everywhere, I rendered g-code using SketchUCam and then ran that on the CNC machine.

I then saved it as a Sketchup 8 since that’s the one I’m used to. Then in Sketchup 2014 I imported it as a DAE. Blender let me export it as a Collada DAE (had to use 3ds for rooster, A for All). I saved the Inkscape file normally and then imported it in Blender.

I then cleaned up the trace by simplifying and deleting stuff I didn’t like. The method I’m using is a CNC rotary cutter.įor the design I use Inkscape to trace a path (Path, TraceBitmap, OK). I think if it’s done carefully this can give good results. I’m not sure if a heated knife is hot enough for that.Īnother method is to use ordinary cutting tools and a rotary cutter such as a dremel mototool. I’m not sure how safe this is since if you overhead vinyl you get poisonous gasses (polyvinyl chloride releases carcinogens and acid when heated). One method of cutting a record is using a heated knife (available at any craft store).
