CD Cutting and / or Trimming

Dave

Exactly my responce when I heard the term 2 days ago - from what I've read it is trimming the perimeter on a Lathe like device that ensures "perfect" roundness with the edge tapered at 38 degrees. Musicdirect.com even sells the machine. Like I said it sounds like hype so I'm seeing if anyone else has heard of it or if they do it.

Coincidentally, I have been seeking opinions on this device as well. Since it is not new, it doesn't draw much attention or discussion. No hype, feedback is positive.

Hi: There has been much discussed on this subject previously. Searching the archives will bring a wealth of information. One of the very best can be found here:

excellent - that's what i'm looking for

thanks

I would add I have used the lathe for some time. We have demoed it with a number of friends blind (for what thats worth) and in every case, the lathed disc was preserved. I don't believe you can lathe an sacd however. It is not inexpensive. If you have more questions drop me a note
