    Best lab for Glass

    Can anyone recommend a good lab for edging glass? Preferably one that does not have to outsource. We usually send to Zeiss but their turnaround time is not very good.

    We use Precision Optics, on the rare occasion we need to order glass, but their turnaround time is probably no better. We usually quote 3-4 weeks.
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    Luzerne or Fluegge Optical both do them inhouse from start to finish.

    Fluegge has gotten me specialty glass really fast, in a week.

    Glenn Fluegge posts here maybe he will pop by.

    That is a nice long stretch of time, how about if there are no kids to take over when the time comes?
