Sharing a little invention I came up with today.
As my eyesight is fading, I need more light to see what I'm doing... especially at my T8.
The cheap IKEA LED light I got for my old SA-250 several years ago is still doing okay, but leaves a little to be desired. Especially since I apparently managed to time my upgrade with the release of the T-8 Black and a discount at the local store a couple of years ago...
So I went out and bought a new LED light at Clas Ohlson (a local Swedish department store. I guess Google, etc. will tell you what CO is...). On my way back to the car, I took a small detour through IKEA's lighting department. I came out with their Tertial desk lamp and a 5 W, 4000 K bulb (actually sold as a two-pack).
The CO light never even made it out of the box — the 5 W IKEA bulb had convinced me I needed more power. Scotty would have understood.
So, after an evening and a morning of thinking about it, I went back to the mall (if we can call what we have here in Sweden a mall...), returned the CO light and exchanged it for two super-strong magnets that amounted to close to 75% of the total cost. Then I went to Bauhaus and bought 1 m of 16 mm steel tube.
This is what it turned into after some cutting, drilling and mounting.
If anyone from the Tormek team happens to see this: why not add a mount for a lighting solution to the TS-740?
Good light is important at any age, but especially so as we age. Good light turns makes the Tormek so much easy to use, adjust, etc.
Interesting setup concerning the light.
I wonder if you can take a broader picture concerning the first picture to see exactly how you mounted it overall on the machine. For example, point a camera as you did in your picture with the magnet, it just broaden it a bit to see how it attached to whatever point that it did please thank you if you would.
