Here I am at a crossroad where I finally am conceeding my hand drilling skills
cannot keep up with the variety of new rimless coming out. The 8 hole were
no problem but now it's drill/notch, drill/rec, countersunk stones, ect...

Does anyone have a good reccomendation on a drilling system where the software already has most frame manufactuters drilling specifications loaded
in?

Check with E-lens. They have a product with the frame data for most frames.

smartdrill is the best of the price!!! We looked at the edrill at the ola last year and found that it is the better of the 2 drills and the smartdrill is alot cheaper!!! Dont be fooled because the smartdrill looks so cheesy!!! It isawesome!!!! We were set on getting some high priced automated drill butthe smart drill is a great investment!!! Its already paid for itself!!!!

We just bought the Opera Drill for our office with an AIT maxima. Seems like the best choice for us, it can communicate with a server listing of an unlimited number of coordinate points, it's fast, quiet, clean and the price isn't too bad (more than a smart drill but more user friendly too)

Perry, you may also want to consider Santinelli's offerings. Their ME-1000 edger is quite good for a retail setting. They also carry a german manual drill with an LCD dial controlled platform and an adjustable angle drilling head. I think it's called a Less Stress Drill. www.santinelli.com
