Cutting Lenses - What Works

[Mountain King]

no, I don't mean silly write up. I mean step by step HD video. Start to finish and not just O Matter based chops, I mean wire, x metal, o matter etc. How to combat lens cracking on R1, reverse beveled lenses, and more. Polishing edges without sand papers, cutting without bench grinders and files...A real in depth training.

This would be awesome. Im for it. Thanks !

Got new Dremel bits in and my donors time to make some lenses... Hopefully

Progress update:

Are Half-X lenses big enough to cut Juliet lenses out of? Haven't found any insight on it in here.

I would also love to have a tutorial video!

Just read all 66 pages of info. Wow. Does anyone know the base curve of asian fit gascans? And therefore what x metal lenses can be cut from them? Thx in advance...

yes, flat. Use an M Frame, Radar, or other Shield lens...

I am getting a couple more Gopro cameras in the very near future and will borrow a couple more. I have pretty good ideas on how to really make this work...

Lets put it this way, I can cut a Juliet out of a half jacket, which is a real tight fit and I have done it. But the Half X doesn't give me ANY room to trace on. I would say no.....

Hey guys I am not seeing what a doner lens for fives 3.0 would be. I am looking to get some violet iridium for these glasses but I guess oakley did not make that oem. Any help on this?

So being fives are so small almost any lens will work?
