Is there a manual hand edger with a poly cutting wheel?

My auto edger is giving me trouble cutting poly
(leaves little dust like marks on the surface of lens after edging)
and sometimes would stop altogether.

While I fix the problem, I was trying to use a manual edger to cut PC and found out it was extremely difficult.
Most manual edgers have a finer wheel for cutting CR39s I guess.

Is there a manual edger with a poly wheel?
How did opticians cut poly before the days of patternless and auto edgers?

Simply use the hand wheel without water, i.e., dry.
B

Yes, and be ready, because it will cut very fast with a dry wheel.

Of course I use them dry!!!!! :D
But it was still difficult with high minus power lenses, as they tend to be quite thick.
Was just wondering if there was an easier way I wasn't aware of.

Thanks heh
