I think the frequency response of your cutting head is going to be your major problem, trying to get the mass small enough and avoiding resonance within the audio band (assuming you are going to record in 'real time') whilst still being able to get enough power into the coils to actually cut the vinyl is a finely balanced equation. This problem eluded the early record manufacturers for many years but technology moves on and I really do hope you succeed with this project. There are many extremely clever members on this forum who are only too willing to help and share their knowledge so don't be too proud to ask, just keep at it and you will win.
I have never tried a blue laser so I would be most interested to see your results as and when.
