Lathe-Cut Vinyl Records Australia

Create a one-off or short-run vinyl record from your own audio and artwork with Vinyl Groove. Based in Aldinga, South Australia, we have been creating custom lathe-cut vinyl records for musicians, collectors and gift-givers since 2013.

What Is a Lathe-Cut Vinyl Record?

A lathe-cut record is made individually rather than manufactured in a large pressing run. Your supplied audio is transferred directly onto a blank disc using specialised record-cutting equipment.

Because every record is cut separately, lathe cutting is ideal when you need one copy or a small number of identical copies. You can create a personalised gift, preserve original music, produce a demo, release a limited edition or make a special record for an important occasion.

Custom Vinyl Records Made in Australia

Your records are created locally in Aldinga, South Australia, using German-engineered lathe technology and durable 2 mm PETG discs.

Unlike traditional vinyl pressing, which commonly requires a large minimum order, our process makes custom vinyl accessible for personal projects and short-run releases. You can order directly online and customise your record to suit your project.

Choose Your Record Size and Colour

Vinyl Groove offers 7-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch custom records, with available options including black, clear, white and red discs. Picture discs are also available in selected sizes, allowing your image to appear across the face of the record.

Available colours and playing times depend on the selected size and speed. Our online builder displays the compatible options and available recording time as you create your order.

Upload Your Audio and Artwork Online

Our custom vinyl builder allows you to upload audio tracks for Side A and Side B, arrange your music and monitor the available playing time.

You can also upload artwork for your centre labels or select a picture disc and provide a full-disc image. If you do not upload centre-label artwork, your record can be supplied with our standard white labels.

The price updates as you build your project, so you can review your selections before adding the completed record to your cart.

One-Off Records and Short Runs

You do not need to order hundreds of copies. We specialise in producing individual records and short runs, making the service suitable for:

 

    • Independent musicians and bands

    • Personalised birthday, wedding and anniversary gifts

    • Original songs and recordings

    • Limited-edition releases

    • DJ projects and promotional records

    • Memorial recordings and treasured audio

    • Unique keepsakes for vinyl collectors

Multiple identical copies can be ordered when you need a small release or records for family, friends or band members.

Lathe Cutting Versus Vinyl Pressing

Traditional vinyl pressing uses metal stampers and is generally designed for larger production runs. Lathe-cut records are created individually by cutting the audio into each disc.

This makes lathe cutting a practical option for customers who want a custom vinyl record without the large quantities and setup requirements associated with conventional pressing.
