If I'm not mistaken, the last time I was in one of my local record shops and digging through the used section I stumbled upon a serato control vinyl for cheap.. I didn't pick it up because I've never owned a DVS system. Next time I'm back over there I'm going to hunt around for it a bit. I'd sure like to take a stab at cutting my own 7". I've read a few people's experience with doing it. One thing i definitely do NOT have is 2 pieces of glass to put sandwich the record in before putting it in the oven, so I guess we'll see how that goes, hah. I figure even if the thing warps and curls under the heat it wasn't a full price timecode anyway.. Other than that, it looks like its just patience and a steady hand.
Anyone have any experience cutting down there own vinyl?

I don't trust myself with anything crafty lol. From what I've seen online people are able to make their own 7" control record. If you're like me I'd go to openformat.la and purchase one.... although it would be fun just to try to make one for yourself too.

I recently cut my own. Pretty simple. Just used an embosser to heat up the record a bit and used heavy duty scissors for cutting. Then fine grit sand paper on my orbital sander to smooth the edges. Came out pretty clean. I did by buy a serato from Underkut just to compare. His are impeccable. It seriously looks as if Serato themselves produced it.

That's awesome tag us with a photo of your finished project on Instagram @portablist if you're on it.

It's embarrassing simple with hot knife , literally 2 minutes job and you don't have to heat up a record so there is no risk melting the grooves and loosing quality of your timecode signal. Check it out youtu.be/KNHc8EP7_aw

I did the ol "trace and exacto blade" and it worked like a charm. Not nearly as perfect as underkut's product but it works for me
