Following on the magnifier thread.
I settled for a cheap-o head magnifier sometime back when I had some sudden
need. It was OK, but I still wanted better.
I just did some searches for the Donegan Optical Optivisor (mentioned in the
recent threads) and found their web site has a dealer locator.
It did miss some local sources I had found elsewhere in searches (such as a
jewelry working supplier quite conveniently near my office.. I hope to get
there in a few days and check them out re. the various magnifier levels.. I
think you can get interchangable lenses).
This was suggestec by a school of arts advisory for their incoming jewelry arts
summer students.
Once source was a supplier for .... eradication of head lice... So you never
know where!
Also, model train kit/building suppliers... I found one on the US/Canada border
that serves Canada and USA from B.C. and Washington state.
Your info for what you like. Prices varied greatly... one go-to place for tools
I found was about 30 dollars more than the average I have seen.
I will be getting one for some SMD work and general work. Now that I have a
Wal-Mart griddle and embossing tool for 'frying' and heating up SMD
boards/components and some solder paste on the way along with a small Hendricks
kit to try out the SMD working process!
