Not wanted to take Bobs "light" post off track, I wanted to see if anyone is familiar with this kind of light,
Namely a 6 LED light with magnetic back that can be stuck onto a toolrest to see the inside of a turning.
I saw this on a European forum and thought it might be a handy thing to have, never seen anything like that here, but then I don’t know everything that is available either.

Well, looks like it should work pretty good. Might have to make a sketch and hang it for future reminder.
Leo, that looks interesting. I'm sure that is a sealed unit and made to fit inside something?
I don’t know Bob, the fellow that had it, got it from a turner in Germany where he had taken some lessons in hollow forms and vase type turning, he said that I can order it there, but rather expensive plus than the shipping cost and the rest of the hassle that can come into play.Quote:

Looks neat
Should be able to make one from this 12 volt module pretty easily: http://www.amazon.com/Pcs-OPT7%C2%AE-Advanced-Bright-6-SMD/dp/B00JW3068C/

Maybe it is just me, but finagling the tool rest to point the light would be more trouble than something like the Ikea LED with a magnet base on the banjo.
I'll try anything once, just once. :eek:
Cheers guys
Thank you Ken for the link :D, I was hoping someone would have seen something like that, as I figured it would probably be available as a part for something.Quote:

Thanks again Attachment 299954
Very interesting ... not sure what the smallest 12v adapter is to make these things glow but will watch this thread for ideas on wiring/holders etcQuote:
