it's going to be extremely expensive + wear fast cause it'll be a dubplate ( acetate ) won't be able to play it after a certain number of plays ( varies with the quality of the dubplate,, ranging from 30 to 100 if you're lucky ) cause it wears out

the price is like 40 bucks, well depending on were you go

try to contact the people at vinylium.ch they do great service

think u asking about a vinyl cutter?...vestax makes one:

it's mad expensive tho...another company makes one too, but i forget the name.

Kingston, part of Stanton Magnetics.

To be honest, if you're an individual, don't spend money on those things, you'll lose big way. If you want to press vinyls, go to a pressing plant and ask there. It's already expensive enough.
The only way I can think of a useful (read profitable) usage, is if you own a music shop. You could set up a vinyl cutting service for guys that want to press their demo's on vinyl for a small price.

check this out and die when you'll see the prices :

around here it costs about $1,800 (including 15% tax in canada...) to press 500 records.

take a look at http://www.mp3vinyl.com if you want 1 or 2 dubplates made.

?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

There are websites on the web pressing and selling vinyl? I though this was illegal? Anyway, even if you had a vinyl cutter and you pressed your mp3s quality would not be as good as the original vinyl.

no offense but that comment there was pretty stupid!
off course it's legal!
well yes and no ....
if you as a dj are going to press 500 copies of a track I doubt you're gonna do a copy of something you didn't produce then again , but then again don't forget there's all these white label bootlegs ( and no white label does not equal bootleg ) .....

pressing vinyls is totally legal ..... well maybe I didn't understand what your point was .... but none the less it is legal!

concerning your remark of pressing a vinyl off an mp3; where I think your whole comment is based on; that would be the most stupid thing to do when you see the price of cutting a dubplate or pressing one ( which is non sense cause you'd have to get the mold done for 100+ dollars easy + the cost of pressing )

it appears that htfr for uk sells copies and that they suck ....

Actually I didn't know they where only selling in huge quantities, I thought you could order a single record. Well I guess it makes sense now. About the second point, I'm talking about the vinyl cutter that vestax produced, anyone can buy it and cut vinyl off his mp3s.

i couldn't find a price for the vestex unit. mebbe i'm blind? anyone find it?
