I suppose these are fairly new, just 2 or 3 years old. I can't seem to find ANYONE (with any experience) who has ever even used one... much less who has the experience to rate the machine vs others available.
ANYONE?
Thanks, T.J.

Edging is super fast and the custom features make it more useful than the "ultimate" Kappa.
I am happy to answer any specific questions you may have.

I've gone thru two tess tracers in 18 months, neither worked well. can't trace semi rimless well, lots of gappy fits...just never worked well for us
Oh, I only use the Tess tracer for frames and haven't had any issues. I have the Iness blocker with the camera that reads the shape of the former or demo lens shape. No issues with the Iness yet either. The Tess tracer is almost identical to Mr. Orange. I haven't worked on the fancy-pants Mr. Blue ...
The TESS tracer is also used for Remote Edging and as the tracing table in Mr Blue and Mr Orange.Quote:

It wouldn't be used as a Remote Tracer if is was not reliable.
