Welcome Russ- I was looking at your website... are you actually making the clocks from vinyl records? They are made from PVC which is hazardous, toxic and will corrode your machine and anything the fumes touch. We had picts of a couple machines used for a month or two to cut vinyl records for xmas gifts and they were very very scary. We lost them when the forum was fragged a couple years ago unfortunately.
