Sizing lenses?

Anybody can recommend a source for sizing lenses? Planos, CR 39, the cheaper the better. Uncoated, clear or tinted.

Sizing lenses. Not sure if it is the right term. These are the lenses I use before cutting the real job to make sure the size is right.

You mean for sizing calibration on an edger?

Not quite sure what you mean. Pricing lens?

You do it before every job or just tricky ones that you want to play with bevel placement? If its just once and a while I would just ask youe favorite wholesale lab for some lenses they messed up. Thats what I do if/when I need to recalibrate the sizing on my edger. Otherwise I just use whatever old Cr39 lens I have laying around.

Uncoated CR39 lenses are pretty cheap, I think there are a handfull of people on here that are finished stock lens distributors also. Hopefully one of them will respond for you
