Hi Folks,
Still cannot make up my mind about which Pattern-less Lens Edger + Tracer to buy.
I run a business restoring vintage and pre-owned designer sunglasses. I also sell aftermarket lenses for various popular models.
I need it to meet the following criteria:
- Must have Ability to trace both lens shapes and frame shapes
- Must have Ability to store traces on the machine and export to PC for back-up
- Must have Ability to correctly grove various base curves, (2,4,6 and 8)
- Must have Ability to process lenses with sharp curves (My Briot 6000) struggles with that right now.
My budget does not allow me to purchase brand new equipment so I have to look at second hand options.
While I only do around 10 jobs per day. I need a reliable machine that will last me for a number of years and that will be repairable if it goes wrong.
I have been looking at the only large company in UK who sells opti equipment and they have the following models available.
Can someone please recommend a machine for me from this list based on the requirements I have listed in bullet points above?
