As stated before, use edger dots...blue 'surface saver' type tape cut specifically for edging and the like...available from any lab consumable supplier.

For fun...I tell them I'm Black, I think (not really) cuz my mom was Black and father was Samoan, but didn't know him. But they each had a White parent, so I'm confused on how to answer. Currently...
H-m-m-m...too thick for PLUS lenses. Let see if I understand my math.
50 mm true box A measurement (measured where lenses come closest together as a starting point, finishing at the extension of a...
ED is acquired by adding the eye size (True BOX width, NOT from/close to the 180 line) + 2x's the patients monocular PD. This will give you the minimum lens blank size to use. Some of us add a little...
1. When assembling 1-hour stores we would ask the greenest of the green to go to Sears/Monkey Wards, $20 in hand with a P.O. filled out with catalog number, to retrieve an 'anodized, rubber handled,...

H-m-m-m...dumb stuff I've seen first hand and NOT to be repeated:
1. Vegatable oil used as heat transfer oil in tint unit. Company 'on hold' with everybody (normal?), couldn't get the right stuff....
The other posts were correct in that wheels are balanced from the mfg. Further, your machine should be level p/mfg's recommendation. Be sure to clean out the bevel chamber and to clean any shmigma...
OK, lotsa years lost on my end, but somehow me thinks the term meniscus lens is being used incorrectly or used to illustrate a point. Can we all have the book definition of a meniscus lens, please.
