Thread: Recommend Magnification Tool

For honing, and a quick look, you really do not need to spend much.

A 60X lighted loupe can be found on line for as low as $2. Buy a couple at least, the batteries cost more than a replacement loupe.

Or The 60/100X, Carson Mico Max 200 at about $10-15. Both have been used extensively and successfully for years. They are both quick and effective. You can spend more, but really don’t need to.

When you are new, the more you can see of what is happening on the bevel and the edge, will help you understand the honing process.
