Phew! I know I'll never be as good as you but man, I was worried!

Proper Solution? Mill an additional small amount off the rear shoudler of the frame groove...not the rear shoulder of the lens bevel, as now.

Do you do this?

I have successfully done this to some high wrap mold injected sunglasses with a dremel. I haven't run into a need to do it in an opthalmic frame yet.

My tech has 'modified' quite a few Oakleys in his day to keep that nasty ole step bevel from keeping us from being able to Rx in house.

Barry has quite a few videos on the Santinelli site of him doing this very thing

Man you guys modifying the bevel on frames with a dremel... that is hardcore stuff.

I've done many a step bevel on a hand wheel and finished with sand paper by hand, but I would be scared to mess with a frame like that. good job guys!
