Title: Handy and cheap microscope
Post by: John Hancock Sr on April 27, 2026, 05:30:09 AM
I was watching BigClive's electronics channel on You Tube and in a recent video he was using this electronic microscope. I thought that it might be handy for sharpening so I bought myself one. It cost about $26 Australian including shipping.

Here it is looking at the micro bevel created using a 5000 grit shapton stone on my Narex Richter chisel.

I found mine on AliExpress. I just searched for hand held digital magnifier.
