Acrylic Source for TT mod?

The Teres Platter is only 2.75" thick. TAP Plastics is NOT a CNC machine shop and *I* wouldn't trust the accuracy of their cuts since they do everything by hand. If you want a truly round platter, CNC is the best route. Acrylic can be purchased in 4" (which is actually 3.93701") thickness at San Diego Plastics http://www.sdplastics.com/sdplas2.html

If they feel the job is too difficult, they will sub-contract to a CNC Machine Shop.

* machining a platter is more complicated than just making a round piece of acrylic. Chamfered edges - far edge rounding/chamfering are required for bearings to fit into and rest flat in bores.

Connecticut Plastics is a higher precision option and can be found on the web at: http://www.connecticutplastics.com/ They prefer to receive high quantity orders but may help you if you claim its a prototype.

Flame polishing is almost mandatory for a pretty looking platter. All TAP Plastics stores do flame polishing and so does San Diego & Connecticut Plastics

Hope this helps.

You really don't need a CNC machine to make a round platter. A lathe or bandsaw will do the job quite nicely. I prefer the bandsaw. Just cut the spindle hole on a drill press then use it as a pivot point to rotate the acrylic through the bandsaw blade (use a narrow blade like 1/4 or less) and finish per the Teres instructions.

Check out the pedestals on the link that Alex_yakovlev posted. An acrylic pedestal might make a nice TT stand no? They look nice to boot.
