February 12, 20197 yr My magnifying safety glasses broke. I don't remember where I got them. They were 1.25 magnification. Where do you folks buy yours? Brand recommendations? I use 1.25 readers but don't want to use plain safety glasses over them. Thank You.
February 12, 20197 yr I have prescription safety glasses, but Woodcraft carries "generic" magnifying glasses...however lowest I see on their site is 1.5 diopter. Same with Rockler; Peachtree Woodworking shows full lens 1.25 magnification or bi-foc;a sty;e like Woodcraft & Rockler with 1/5 diopter
February 13, 20197 yr Try Northern tools. I know I have seen some at 1.25 on the carousel in the front of the store close to me.

February 22, 20197 yr Author Popular Post I wound up getting the bi-focals. In addition to woodworking they will work out better for yard work (leaf blower, chain saw, etc) where I don't need magnifying but do need for eye safety. Now I won't have to put on magnifiers for close up stuff, take them off, and put on non-magnifying safety glasses for non-close-up work.
