Diamond Stylus & Record Blanks

Precision tools and cutting materials for people who actually make records. Built for professional lathe operators and independent cutters who demand consistency at the point where sound meets surface.

A recording stylus is not a playback needle — it is the instrument that cuts the groove itself. Geometry, polish, material choice, and mounting stability directly influence groove integrity, surface noise, and high-frequency response.

Paired with properly manufactured record blanks, a precision stylus allows audio to be carved directly into the disc in real time — eliminating molds and enabling true short-run or one-off production workflows.

These components form the mechanical foundation of reliable disc manufacturing.
