Great extensixe tutorial. Now I got a good idea on how its done, I may just start looking for donor lens to try and cut my own R1 lens. Thank you so much.

Just a question about your technique with the tools: Are you holding the lens in one hand and the (dremel?) in the other or is one stationary (either the lens or the dremel)? I'm not very familiar with using the tool but I would imagine that you would get better results with have one stationary either clamped lens or stationary sanding tool? (maybe a belt sander)?

I hold the lens and use the micro pencil Dremel attachment to work around the lens. Then I do my bevel, them run them on my finishing wet lens wheel machine
