Title: Good Light
Post by: Herman Trivilino on April 10, 2026, 05:17:20 PM
The importance of good light when setting jigs and sharpening has been mentioned here many times. I find that these newer head lamps are awesome. They have a strong LED lamp and a rechargeable Li-ion battery, and are very inexpensive. I have two so that at least one of them is always charged and ready to go.

"And Torgny said, 'Let there be light'. Although I had studied the handbook, setting up my Tormek in good daylight for the first time in bright daylight instead of my poorly lit garage was quite a surprise.

Great idea about the headlights!

I have good shed lighting, but not quite enough when sharpening. I have two additional 18W rectangular LED lights over the sharpening area which helps a lot.
