lj67909397 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hey All: Looking for some advise. What power magnification is everyone using and how are they mounted to the saw. I currently have the magnetic type and attach them to the table...but they always seem to get in the way. As powerfull as the magnets are, the still seem to slide of. I looked in the SEYCO catalog and saw the ones in there that screw right into the side of the arm but it doesn't say what the magnification level is and maybe I overlooked it but I didn't see how bright the lights were either. Thanks in advance for any thoughts suggestions etc. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvman44 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 You could call Ray at SEYCO and I am sure he could answer your questions. I use this one and attach it to the side of the upper arm and it stays put and raises with the arm for blade changes and does not get in my way. I like it. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=21264 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don in brooklin on Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I purchased a 90 LED light from Busy Bee in Canada. http://www.busybeetools.com/products/MAGNIFYING-LAMP-90-LEF-TABLE-MOUNTING.html The amount of light is fantastic but when I look with the magifying lens with my glasses on I see the blade twice. Take off my glasses or look with one eye it is nicely enlarged. I think there maybe a sweet spot but I can't seem to find it when I scroll. I have used it for other things and it is fine. I would suggest that you test out what ever light you are looking at on the scroll saw to make sure it magnifies the way you want it. don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
