First off, you dont “just go to your local plastic factory and have blanks cut” that is complete and utter nonsense, you think they cut it out with scissors lol, no, they use a die that is designed specifically for the job and you have to buy it for that job. Second, calling the Vestax a crappy lather because a bunch of muppets never got it to work properly is also nonsense, all lathes are crappy if you are crap at using a a lathe, yes the Vestax has restricted frequency range, if any of your music uses those ranges i would be surprised, and if you are over the age of ten i would be surprised if you can hear those ranges. Buying a Presto might seem like the greatest idea ever, but unless you plan on cutting master laqcuers for a business, it is the stupidest idea anybody could ever have that equates to a fucking huge pit that eats money for snacks. This thing is doomed because it is hipster bullshit, who the fuck else will pay £10 a plate.
