The Diamond Tool Behind Every Vinyl Record
Do you still listen to vinyl? If yes - great taste. If no - maybe you cut it?
While the world moves to streaming, millions of people have returned to analog sound. Vinyl sales grow every year. Someone has to make those records. And someone has to make the tool that cuts the groove.
What You Are Looking At
In the photo - a CVD diamond cutting stylus for vinyl record lathes, shown under 100x magnification. The tool is 4 mm long. The entire tool is solid diamond.
This is not a stylus for playback. This is the cutting tool mounted on a lathe that physically engraves the groove into a lacquer disc - the master from which all copies are pressed.
Why Geometry Is Everything
The ultra-precise geometry of the cutting edge passes three stages of quality control. This defines everything: sound clarity, frequency accuracy, and durability of the cut. A deviation of a few microns changes what the listener hears on the final record.
Two Grades Available
- CVD diamond - Chemical Vapor Deposition synthetic diamond, extremely consistent crystal structure, ideal for high-volume cutting.
- HPHT diamond - High Pressure High Temperature synthetic diamond, very high hardness, suited for demanding cutting parameters.
Your lathe, your choice.
