    I had my WE for a week. Done several blades and I am absolutely stoked. Had used “extra fine” DMT and Arkansas black stones and honing guide up to now but WE provides better results in a couple of hours instead of bout 20 hrs. I use a 40 to 400X zoom dissecting microscope and wondered what others use to inspect progress close up / magnified

    Hi Graham – Welcome to the forum and glad to hear you are getting great results right off the starting line :woohoo:
    I have two lighted loupes that I use the most – 1 30x and 1 45x. They are great for quick in the clamp examination – and for extra lighting which I use them for even more often as my eyes seem to be aging much faster lately.
    I also use a veho USB microscope 400x – VMS-004 (though I don’t use it as much as I’d like). It was pretty inexpensive and works pretty well for me – though I do want to get a better stand, the little one it comes with is not very versatile. Hoping to find time to use it to capture some progressions at some point

    Thanks. What I didn’t say but you guys anticipated was the microscope is gook for freehand work butt a pain removing the knife from the clamp each time to look at it. I’ll get an led loupe. Thanks so much
