Not that I am anxious to spend the money on this Sharon. I am curious what you did not like about it.

What kind of saw do you have?

My floresent and ballest (sp?) went out at the same time (last week). I found out that there is a difference between a 'sunlight' floresent and a regular floresent. Suddenly after installing projects turned yellow. Now I'm to hunt down a 'Sunlight' replacement.

I found what I needed at Howardelectronics.com. I found 3, 5 and 8 diopter magnifying glasses. They have a place local in Chino and after using the 5, its like night and day. The line looks like its double wide allowing me to cut on instead of over and around. If you go to that site, you will see the difference in a dime when looking at it via a 3, 5 and other high end glass. Thanks everyone.

I have a dewalt. It works well for now. If I really get into this, then I may go to a higher end machine. What about you.

Owler - It just didn't seem to be putting out the light I needed in the shop -made me think I was in a dark spot- and in the sewing room it was okay - there was no glare but it did make every thing look funny- and it is one for the colors to be right- the one to make everything show up good --it didn't i was mixing up browns amd maroons real bad -- lol- you'd think I was color blind.
I'm not - had the cateract surgery and lenses transplants in 2000- I have very good eyes..

Oh, I just wanted to know your machine so if they made a magnifyer light specifically for your saw. But you found something so that's a good thing.
