This morning I was making some tooling and needed to use a depth micrometer and protractor on the Bridgeport. Then on to the lathe and and another micrometer. At my age old I can barely read them anymore. That is with glasses and a magnifier to read 10ths on the mic. The protractor needed to be at 27.5 degrees and if it was at 26 or 27 or 28 degrees, who knows??? Thank god I have DRO's on the machines or I would really be in trouble! The wife came out to help and she can't see them either. Finally was able to read the tools by taking everything out in to direct sunlight and got the job done but took way to long when you can't see.
