I have used an a Optivisor for engraving and woodcarving for years. They work great for me. I am new to scrollsawing, but have had good luck using it for that purpose. There are different levels of magnification with different distances from the lens to the work. Be sure that there is enough distance so that the upper part arm does not hit the magnifier.  There is a bit of a learning curve getting used to it. I think that an Optivisor or other quality magnifier, would be better than cheaper ones (less headaches etc). You may want to buy from Amazon or somewhere else that takes returns.

Plus one for the "Optivisor"

What a timely thread. I just ordered a headband magnifier. Fingers crossed this works better than what I have currently.

Please let us know how it works out.

Anxious to know what you ordered, Dave.  I also am interested in one, but what about ear portection.. I were hearing protection now trying to say what little hearing I have left.  I guess on could use the foam one I have a couple hundred of them.
