    Cut the back off, carefully, Use these to push the bushing/frame out.

    20 minutes from starting to dismantle to finished assembly is not unreasonable, this is specialty stuff.

    Thanks for the advice!

    We're pretty low volume and just CR39, so it looks like the advantages the other machines offer over the Vista2G won't really apply to us. Which is handy since it's cheaper.

    Solid improvements, with a smaller package size no less. Prism tools would be great, maybe a calculator to determine if a stock lens is usable vs surfaced.

    That shouldn't be, I use an old Kappa M10 and one cut almost every job. Keep in mind the edging follows the trace, bad trace = bad edging.

    Night fishing is about intuition, location, and persistence. Vision has little to do with it beyond tying a knot and not catching your buddy.
