    New edger recommendations required

    Hello List,

    I am looking to purchase a new edger for my office. The office has tried the newest Topcon (liked it), Nidek (didn't like), and want to avoid the Kappa (we wish to minimize use of Essilor products... long story there). Our office does not require an industrial-grade edger or a machine that drills. We need something that is easy to use, reliable, edges lenses well and provides good value. Any recommendations that would fit the bill? Thanks.

    Second the AIT

    I'll second AIT edgers. we have the practica-very simple, yet turns out nice work. We edge alot of poly, hi index and trivex, and so far no problems edging even higher Rx's in poly (although I do rough cut most high poly rx with cyl first). good price and their tech support has been very patient and helpful.

    I am an AIT distrubitor and I have an AIT Practica/CNC-3D demo unit for sale. The system has less then 600 lenses cut and is in excellent condition. Let me know if you interested. $14,000.00. This unit is set up to cut CR39, Poly, Glass, and Trivex.
