    Advice on purchasing a tracer

    Good afternoon.
    I am hoping that someone can give me some advice regarding a frame tracer.
    I have an MEI641 edger with TBA and I am currently using an LT1200 tracer from Nidek.
    Apart from the shape finder from MEI can someone suggest which would be the next best tracer to work with the MEI?

    The LT 1200 is about as good as it gets as far as i'm concerned

    Yeah I just got a new "xtremeD" LT 1200 and it is so good, I couldn't imagine how a tracer could get better.

    The ICE 1200 might be a better option because it has a mechanical tracer and a camera for rimless lenses. Plus it's an auto blocker if your MEI uses blocks.

    Hi jefe,
    Appreciate the response. I will look into the ICE 1200. My MEI is TBA so no blocks required however the camera feature will come in handy. Thanks again and best regards.
