Cutting lenses by hand (a guide)

[Chet Manley]

yellow frog tape came loose on one corner, i will never use that tape again. I'm goin back to blue tape. Had to cut these lenses without tape because i was pissed off. Thanks @qtrain23 for givin me the idea.

What lenses are those? Tape sticks less to lens that are hydrophobic coated

These are sapphire lenses. The blue scotch tape worked best for me.

The less tacky the tape the better.
Each to his own though

Cutting lenses for a half rim frame is a whole another level

That's insane and @Spenc is so right. Cutting lenses for open frames is next level ****..Great job @Wavecloud’s Customisation

Cant wait for the donor lens to arrive and was bored last night so thought to give a 1st try of one of my dillons lens and pick this black. Not perfect for the 1st try tho but after spending nearly 3hours of cutting and wresting with the bevel, angling cut etc etc.. with this precious lens was absolutely fun and worth it
