Lathe Cut Vinyl Records — Short Run Dubplates in 7", 10" & 12"
Short-Run Stereo Vinyl • Cut in Real Time
Lathe Cut Vinyl Records
Real stereo vinyl records cut one at a time using a diamond stylus on a professional lathe. No factory minimums. No mass duplication. Just true groove cutting for fast, controlled short-run releases.
What Is a Lathe Cut Vinyl Record?
A lathe cut vinyl record is produced by mechanically cutting a stereo groove into the disc surface using a precision diamond stylus. This is the same fundamental cutting process used to create master discs in traditional vinyl manufacturing — except here, the cut you receive is the final record.
- True stereo groove
- Physically carved (not molded or stamped)
- Standard turntable compatibility
- Real vinyl playback
Built for Short-Run Releases
Lathe cutting excels in small quantities. Order a single copy if needed — but this format shines for short-run releases where flexibility and speed matter.
- 3–25 copy release batches
- Test copies before scaling
- Tour merch runs
- Collector drops
- Independent label releases
You control quantity. You control timing. More records = lower cost per unit.

Material & Longevity

Who This Is For
This collection is built for artists and labels who want real vinyl without committing to large factory minimums. If you need hundreds or thousands of copies at the lowest possible unit price, traditional large-scale manufacturing may be a better fit. If you need flexibility, speed, and controlled small-batch production — lathe cut vinyl is the solution.
