Had some requests for this, fired up the FrankenPresto and here's a primer on cutting an original Sons of Sam hillbilly bop 78 rpm record! "I Ain't Gonna Ask Again" copyright 2024 by Mack Stevens

This is great, so interesting. It must be so satisfying to make you own records like this and it sounds so authentic. Great tune too! Hope you're all keeping well, best wishes from rainy ol Ireland!.

In the mid 70s in England we would cut EMI disks from rare 60s soul then sell them for $5 each. its still done. For example if someone has found a particularly rare 60s soul track on a acetate or a master tape and they want to use it to DJ with. But of course there are unscrupulous characters that make a carver and make it look like it was made in the 60s along with stains on label etc.

This is s-o-o-o-o-o cool! My dream forever has been to cut records. Sure, there are lots of vintage home and hobbyist record cutting machines, and even a toy-type one available now, but to have a professional machine is great. Before tape recorders were common, broadcasters cut their programs onto records. Presto and Rek-O-Kut were the kings of professional record cutting.

As a kid in the 60s and 70s I lived a block from a 2nd hand store called The Better Buy. They had SO MANY 78 rpm records there they were practically giving them away. You could buy a binder with ten 78s for a quarter.

Great videos you have posted over the last few years on record cutting Mac! Looks like you have really honed in on how to make a good recording. We greatly appreciate you sharing a detailed look as to how it's done! Where do you get your blanks from, and are they polycarbonate? Jon

Great video Mack! Outta ten cut records, how many do you succeed with no errors? Just curious. They sound fantastic! I got one of your early cuts and enjoy it very much! 😊👍🏽

Probably half are successful, did eight good ones in a row once.

78s cut by Vacuum Sonic... Excellento! What would be the play/spin life on these discs Mr Mack, given they're plastic and not vinyl? Cin Cin. Hari

Does a record heated during the cutting process require a certain amount of time to cool? By playing it that quickly after cutting it does it “stretch” the grooves? Thank you for show this fascinating process.

Interesting. And it's been awhile! Record turned out great. Do those wear out faster than Shellac and regular vinyl records?

Nice setup you have. What material do you use for blanks? I have made a homemade lathe out of CNC parts and a beat up old Stanton turntable and i cut on polypropylene with hardened steel plotter cutting needles but have not had much success, maybe i need to get hold of some sapphire or ruby cutting needles
