Thread: New bench scope

Each of the LED's are 2600 MCD and 3 cm from the center.

hmm, that seems too narrow, might require a high tilt of the blade to get the edge centered if its more than 4/8.

It is a combo of a $79 100x "shop scope", and a $45 USB camera.

As with the Radio Shack scopes, the direction of the lighting has a major impact on what you see through the scope. On the $$$$ scope the light comes out through the objective lens itself, so it gives a much different kind of image. And the camera on that scope is also $$$$

Anyhow, here's the new setup and an image from the new scope (100x) and an image of the same razor from the $$$ scope at 50x and 200x.

So .... like .... uhhh .... probly you could loan it to me ?

This AM's pics from the Veho 400. These are all at about 200x:

The first is a Filly finished on a Nakayama I bought from 330mate:



the second is the same blade after continued finishing on the Nakayama from O_S



The last is the edge of my Harner Damascus finished on the Nakayama from O_S. I think you can see the double bevel. The initial bevel is as it came from Butch. You can see it could use some more time on the Nakayama.

Here is my version of the "hair and edge" scenery.

Don't stop now. These pics are really cool.
