Yuri Suzuki, a designer, and musician partnered up with Japanese learning company Gakken to make a mini record cutting machine that cuts five-inch vinyl records in under five minutes. Depending on your lifestyle or needs, there are different record cutters from a less-expensive mini device that cuts small vinyl records to a more expensive, larger machine that cuts the traditional size of vinyl. If you are a singer or a musician, you can record a song and have it directly recorded onto the disc at home. You can customize a record for your own pleasure, or you can make one to give as a gift. If you are a music lover who listens to classic vinyl records, then you will love these machines. That’s why some crafty inventors have come up with ingenious at-home record-maker machines.
