Flip-down magnifier with two integral lights.
Multiple magnifying lenses. The inner element is hinged &
spring-loaded.
Breathing Filter
Inhaling metal dust from grinding tools bits is very
hazardous. See the appropriate
MSDS.
Anti-fatigue matting can really help with
long-term standing comfort & reduce injury.
These mats are 9/16" thick closed-cell foam with a PVC anti-slip surface &
non-tripping beveled edges.
Swarf does not embed into the hard smooth PVC surface like it would with soft
matting making clean-up easy.
Shop Vacuum
Good for removing swarf, this particular model has an effective exhaust muffler. A clean shop is a safer shop.
Besides, I don't want Macie, my Golden Retriever, to get into any swarf. ☻
This is at sunrise in winter.
