    Rimless Jig for Practica Edger needed

    Does anyone have a rimless jig for a Practica edger? I inherited the edger from a practice I acquired, and it's not a bad machine, but it would be really nice to have the ability to trace a demo lens.

    Please let me know ASAP....

    Drill holes in them and trace like a pattern.

    Yes, of course Jacqi. Or, trace it, and make a pattern by hand. Or, I could do like any optician worth their salt would do... eye it up, edge them by hand on the curb in front of the office, out of glass, and heat treat them with my breath after chugging a bottle of Hot Sauce From Hell sauce.

    (I'll take your reply as a "No", you don't have one)

    I'm not worried about saving money. I'd rather save time, and give my employees the proper tools to get the job done. Sure, we can McGuiver it when we have to, but we shouldn't have to everyday.

    Never mind, I just went online to AIT and bought it.

    Done.

    Thanks.
