HI:),
Yes they would be Handy for that. Also apart from numerous uses one that comes to mind is reading the Numbers on the Ends of Carby Jets. I might get a couple of them. :2tsup: Mike.

I bought this pocket X 100 microscope for $3 .. my camera doesnt do a good job at capturing the image down the viewer ..It is great for checking edges of tooling .....

......i'm trying to control myself and resist the urge to win something new
those prices are tempting tho:p

[matthew_g]

Well,
Mine arrived today, AND IT WORKS WELL.
It's quite small and compact and is very easy to carry in my pocket comfortably.
It has 2 light settings Bright and dim and the slide focus works quite well also..
So I would have to say $2.60 well spent.
I think I will order a few more before they go up in price.

I hope everyone else's is in the same working condition.

Mine arrived yesterday as well and works very well. Now I can see just how bad my supposedly sharp tools are.

HI:),
I got Mine Yesterday in the Mail too. I have tried one just on Paper and on a Coin. They seem to Work okay.

[Stustoys]

Hi Matthew,
Are you sure its "Bright and dim"? It should have two white LEDs(bright) and one UV LED(dim).

They are very handy. The one problem I find with them(and this applies to all my magnifiying tools except "KittyCam" is the focal length is very short so it can be hard to get close enough if the part is in a machine. Still for $2.60, cant complain.

Mine got here yesterday .Been looking at coins and the edges of my HSS lathe tools

Very handy thing . MIKE

[matthew_g]

I have decided that I hate mine..:oo:
Every cutting edge I look at is less than perfect:( This thing has just made me many extra hours of work I didn't need:doh:

Hi matthew,

Still once you're happy at 60X you can always move on to 400X :D

I got mine yesterday, very pleased with it.
Handy for checking the edges of plane blades when final honing for woodwork.
Cannot believe they were only $2.60 :o
Sorry there are not more available, I may have got some spares.
