Originally developed by taxidermist Steve Miller, the WASCO Eye Setting Graphs allow more species eye setting to be accomplished with only four sheets. These clear sheets are used to establish correct depth, angle, cant (vertical angle), and symmetry for setting glass eyes in nearly every mammal species. New design by Ken Edwards includes handy rules in inches and millimeters, eye size gauges, angle gauges, and symmetry rulers to make mounting easier and more accurate. The graphs were computer generated, so you know the angles are as accurate as possible. Each eye graph is printed on an 8 1/2" x 11" clear plastic sheet.

Step 1 Using calipers, establish the centerline of the face by finding the center point between the eyes and along the nose.
|
Step 2 Align the graph with the arrows along the centerline. Move the graph forward or back to match the width between the eyes. Set the rear of the glass eyes by the angle.
|
|
Step 3 Slit pupils are aligned using the angles on the graph after aligning the arrows with the centerline. The graph may be bent around the head as needed. (Just don't fold it.)
|
Step 4 The eye cant (vertical tilt) is set by aligning the graph to the mannikin vertically. Then, simply look through the graph and adjust the eye until it matches the angle.
