<p>[QUOTE="Hollyblue, post: 339641, member: 1496"]Your last photo is an <b><b><b> AMERICAN OPTICAL COMPANY LENS CUTTING MACHINE MODEL NO.M541-D</b></b></b> which is a lens edger that cuts the lens to the shape needed for the eyeglass frame,you can see the cam/pattern for the lens. The OP's machine looks a little different as it may just use a glass cutting "wheel" to score the lens and then hand chip to basic shape before hand grinding to shape.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
