Allen, I have the .5 lens. My work bench Currently is up to 46" which is just too tall for my short stature. I'm thinking on building a jeweler's bench with the half circle cut out this weekend.
The setup I currently have is causing serious back issues for me so I'm planning on building a jeweler's bench today. I use a microscope with my engraving. Any tips? Anyone have builds they can show for inspiration?
Thanks for the space!
Picking one of these up to test them out but seems like a viable option to use for a border scribe! Maybe someone here will also get some use from it.

Fairly new but here is my latest carving. My question is what do you guys use to clean up the background (work marks) such as those around the front of my face. Looking to find a way to blend the coin better. I've been told to try out ceramic finishing stones but just wanted to hear from the group.
Mouser is the distributor but Hammond is the manufacturer. They make really nice enclosures. I'll see if I can find the series number for the part I used
Direct, which was not easy but I found a robotics company that make couplings for 8mm to 5/16" that are pretty precise. I used 24v 100w Scooter Motor. Reverse, forward, brake. A decent setup for spending $100. The enclosure was the most expensive part.
I built my engraving machine with some help from YouTube and bought a handpieces from the same guy. Just a look at my setup and my beginner work that I've been able too do with it. Waiting on my new microscope and positioning vice from Lindsay. Thanks for looking guys. Hope to hear criticism and...
