Trivex shatters in house edging

David, order a Trivex wheel from Super Abrasives. they speed up poly and other material edging too.

Considering this is a brand new edger I'll wait a few years to upgrade the wheel. Been told doubling up on the front and back with AR pads and increasing the chuck pressure should resolve the issues *Fingers crossed*

David, the only issues I have with slippage are stock trivex with super hydro coatings. I have an older ME1000, here is what I use for those jobs.

Trivex wheel from super abrasive.(obviously for all jobs)

Highest chuck pressure, 5 on my edger.

1712NR leap pads

1705 anti-slip discs

Process on soft mode.

This has eliminated virtually any slippage issues for me. Hope it helps.

Doc, a new Trivex wheel will only cost you around $400. How many trivex Trans job screw-ups pays for one? About 3.

I'm not seeing any anti slip (hydrophobic) discs with your blocking which is an absolute must when edging AR coated lenses. Even if your current pads are rated for AR, they do not provide sufficient adhesion. Perhaps the reason the clear pair was edged successfully may be due to the AR quality. The Photochromic may have a premium AR. There are several recommendations/posts on this forum for the best anti slip pad.

I had the same issue when edging 1.67 w/AR last year. I changed the blocking pad type I was using (HydroKing is awesome btw) and starting using that exact intermediary film and all the problems went away...

Okay upgraded to no slip pads front and rear and
increased chuck pressure with Trivex to 150%
Again can complete all other jobs without issue but for some reason Trivex Trans with AR
comes out like this.
