Turning a bowl with a Tektronix scope 2 feet away and wired to the
lathe is probably not particularly good for the scope, however. ;-)

Why? Used to troubleshoot inside shacks with 100,000 watt transmitters
right next to mine. (of course mine was a Hameg....)

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of flying debris and metal
tools being a hazard than the piddling amounts of RF/EMI.

Never having used one, does this beat a Hameg? ;-)

They all look alike to me. Having struggled with the old kind, I sure do
love the recording types!
