**nessmuck** · 08-22-2010, 02:40 AM

Got to give an eye loupe a try.I am getting dizzy trying to focus my 12.95 radioshack scope.Where do i get one and what power. So do they work pretty good????

I got this one here from Widget Supply and I'm real happy with it. It is 30x and has quality optics. You can get cheaper loupes but this is a good one. A forum member called Kaptain Zero turned me on to the source if y'all remember the Kaptain.

I use a 40x mostly but it is one of the 20x-40x where you can flip one loupe for 20x and two loupes for 40x I would not even look at anything over 40x and the one Jimmy linked is probably the one I will get if the lens on mine falls out one more time

But it is way less $$$ here http://www.amazon.com/SE-Triplet-Jew.../dp/B001BSGGQ2

Radio Shack has a lower powered microscope that is adjustable from 60x-100x that I use. 100x is overkill, but the 60x is pretty good at checking the bevel. As mentioned, anything between about 30x-60x is pretty good for our needs.

I'm using the same one as Jimmy.

to Kaptain Zero where ever he is these days.

I use one like this: I know it's cheap, but it works well.It slides open ,then a small LED light shines on the spot you're trying to see.Great for keeping in your pocket when in dark antique shops.

I never would have found WidgetSupply if not for this post. I ordered a loupe yesterday and received it today. Incredible service. And the loupe really adds to the honing success. Thank you.

I like these.
Of course I have trouble scrounging the cash for a 3 pack of underwear, so, I just like them.
