I feel like nothing good has been put into play to cut for the glasses we like since 2014.

Dremel

Try typing dremel in the search bar and check the threads it comes up with.

It literally just brings me back to this thread...


but, I'll keep digging...

EDIT -- Finally found the info on another thread after 168 pages of not within this thread...
(Cut Some More Lenses )

The @SouLFuLFrog quote should go on the first page of this thread:
"I use a dremel with a fine rotery diamond bit
then 1400 grit sandpaper for the edges"

As well as the @VolcanOG quote:
"I use an X-Acto knife to trace the old lens and cut a clean break on Iridium to lessen any chances of Iridium peeling. I don't use tape usually although I probably should. especially after cutting the G30s for this (M Frame to XS). I had a slight mishap and would have not happened had it been taped. But it's pretty minor."

Even I refer to it occasionally. As if I was a mortal. Just kidding guys. I'm not like that.

You aren't mortal? Sweet

The jury is still out @Wesleypipesyo
Although I may have cheated death once or twice.

That's going to be me tomorrow when I buy a couple pair of glasses finally. The won't be thrilled when she sees the bill. Forgiveness over permission.

What is the best donor for the Monster Pup? Is it an 8.75 base curve?

Do you know the dimensions? The only one I did was with a turbine I think for @Jeff Council either of you guys have the dimensions and a full frontal photo handy?! A- lens width and B- lens height in millimeters. @Dyeraudio
