Thank you that is very helpful and quite possibly explains why he was told that.

LOL! Thank you very much.:smile:

I had a friend that was told Crizal Alize could not be put on a CR-39 straight top lens - is this true or false? I have a hard time believing it can't be done but I could certainly be wrong. If it...

The only way to do a shelf of a 7E is to have the multi-cutter assembly that has a primary blade for roughing the lens
(also used for standard hide a bevel if needed) and 3 specialty cutters that...

Thanks for the update. I hope its no later than Tuesday.

We were supposed to check-in Saturday for a nice week of vacation so obviously picked the wrong week. Any idea when the mandatory evacuation will be lifted? I'm hoping we can go on Monday to at least...

Oh yeah!

Bob, you are spot on except the sizing needs to be set at 38.5 instead of 36.5 for a rimless cut. This part ("looks like a leap pad with 2 pins on the back") should actually be leap block and not...

The lone 25 pin serial port on the back of the 2G (known as Com 1 on the Communications screen) can be converted to 2 comports by using what in called a Serial Splitter. It has a 25 pin connector on...

Call Herbie at Allegheny Optical in Hagerstown, he may be able to help you.

That is priceless!! I needed a good laugh. :D

I think scriptfiller is about dead on. If the edger has been maintained properly then 15-17K for the pair is a really good deal. If the maintenence has not been kept up then all bets are off..

The only differnece between a 7E HLP and a 7E is the polishing hubs are different; the HLP polishing on CR-39 and Hi-Index is a lot better than the polishing on a regular 7E but that is the ONLY...

What determines whether a certain material does the "gentle entry" at the beginning of a cut is whether there is a # sign that comes up at the end of the material designated on the job screen. For...

More than likely changing the Center Thickness down from 38 (I believe that's what the number is for a foam lap) to a lower number and that would correct it; you could adjust the Center Removal too...

Tha calculations are done to take the least amount off the center of the lap when it's cut so it will probably still be the normal thickness on the edge. You can still take the CT down some if you...

The problem is the differential is closing too fast/hard which is usually caused by a clogged or faulty restrictor that controls how hard the differential closes and opens. The restrictor is airline...

Another little "trick" you can do to speed things up, has to do with the lap blank cross and base curve on the lap cutting screen. The foam laps all have plano curves listed (and they are actually...

Sorry, never heard of A Sigma II.

[QUOTE=Johns;297295]The vacuum on my edger just puked (died), so I thought I'd run out and pick up a shop vac to replace it. Problem is, the vacuum that came with he edger has a special three-prong...

:idea:

Is the "rough first" box in the Preferences on the Setup screen checked or unchecked? If it is checked then uncheck it and see if that makes any difference; instead of probing the lens...

Axis speed or Axis power for axis gearbox in the burn-in screen (bottom right column)?

So, did the probe assembly fix the problem you were having on the edger? The suspense is killing me.

Wal-Mart has 3 other big labs left, one each in Dallas, Tx, Fayetteville, Ark. and Crawfordsville, Indiana but who knows for how long. Very few of their stores have edgers any more, most do remote...

A generic barcode reader can be used but the tricky part is to get it programmed properly. The barcode reader provided by Optronics is programmed when you get it I think or the worst case it has...
