I need to get an illuminated magnifier for some scroll work. I can't see
the blade and line.
I was noticing that there are 3,5 and 11 diopter lenses.
A 5 diopter winds up being a magnification of 2.25 5 * 1/4 +1
So the question is, what should I get? Is 5 too powerful, is 3 to little.
Is 11 necessary?
Would like to get one today to get some Christmas work done.
There are several models. I have one inexpensive one with an
incandescent lamp. I think the ones with fluorescent might be better.
The larger the lens the better. I use it mostly for Dremmel work and
removing splinters. Try some out before you buy. A drafting lamp and
magnifying glasses might be all you need.
