    Does anyone have any experience with a Weco E.12?

    I might buy a lightly used one. But first I would like to hear what people have to say about it in general. I've been doing some searches on Google, and here on optiBOARD, but nobody ever mentions it.

    In particular, I'm a bit skeptical about it's "optical tracing" features. I've only ever used mechanical tracers that actually feels the frame or lens shapes. This machine doesn't have a mechanical tracer, only an optical tracer.

    I do not have experience with this machine but I do with optical tracers. I have not worked with one that will trace a frame but to trace a lens they are beyond perfect. Why don’t you take a few difficult frames and trace them and you can be the judge as to the accuracy.

    I don't know anyone in my area who I can visit to see it in person. I can't even find a YouTube video of someone using, or reviewing it (other than its marketing video).

    I'm starting to think that if this machine is so unpopular that Googling it turns up no useful information, then that's a sign that I should pass on the opportunity to buy it used, even if it's relatively inexpensive.
