LATHE CUT RECORDS - CUSTOM VINYL RECORD CUTTING

We offer custom lathe cut vinyl records that are diamond embossed using our Westrex stereo cutter head, no minimum 2 days.

Lathe Cut Record Embossing Process

My custom vinyl lathe cut records starts as a square polycarbonate sheet measuring 7.5" x 7.5". After the grooves are embossed with my exclusive diamond stylus, the sheet is trimmed into a round disc. Buying square blanks is more cost-effective than round ones, yet the sound quality and loudness remain comparable to a lacquer lathe cut mono record. This highlights the craftsmanship of my custom lathe cut vinyl, particularly when considering the differences between lathe cut vs pressed vinyl.

The Best Sounding Custom Vinyl Lathe Cut Records No Minimums

I specialize in creating high-quality custom vinyl lathe cut records, specifically 7" polycarbonate versions. To achieve sound quality that rivals traditional lacquer dubplates, I develop unique sapphire embossing styli. My journey began in 1972 with Walter Gibbons, where I started cutting lacquers before polycarbonate records existed, during that time, I was cutting lacquer acetate discs. Today, my lathe cut records feature my exclusive diamond stylus.

Although my cutting system operates in stereo, it's essential to note that these embossed polycarbonate records must be recorded in mono to minimize playback tracking errors. However, if cut in stereo, they will still play back in mono. This highlights the differences when considering lathe cut records vs pressed vinyl.

THE BEST SOUNDING CUSTOM VINYL LATHE CUT RECORDS

Since 2 years ago, All Our Custom Vinyl Lathe Cuts Are Diamond Embossed.

What is a lathe cut vinyl record?

Pressed vinyl records are mass-produced. In contrast, lathe cut records are crafted from clear or black polycarbonate plastic and are individually cut one at a time. Each record is made in real-time using a lathe machine equipped with a cutting stylus that carves grooves directly into the material. This process allows for small runs and even single copies, making lathe cut records ideal for artists, DJs, and audiophiles who need custom vinyl without the high minimums of traditional pressing plants.

What is a lathe cut record cutting service?

Lathe record cutting involves using a lathe to carve grooves on a lacquer-coated disc or polycarbonate blank. A lathe cut record cutting service provides this process on demand, allowing customers to order custom vinyl records in any quantity — even just one. The service handles the audio mastering, cutting, and finishing of each record individually.

Pressing plants require minimums of 200 plus:

Each custom lathe cut vinyl record is crafted in real-time with a sapphire embossing stylus, allowing for no minimum orders. Unlike pressing plants that require 200 or more units, lathe cutting lets you order exactly what you need — whether it's one record or a small run for a limited release.

How do lathe cuts sound:

The sound reproduction from lathe cut vinyl records is comparable to Hi-Fi pressed mono vinyl records. Our diamond embossing stylus produces exceptional audio quality, rivaling traditional lacquer dubplates. The polycarbonate material provides durability while maintaining excellent sound fidelity across the full frequency range.
