Light setup for Hapstone R2

[Derrick300]

Just placed an order for an R2 off of Gritomatic with needed/recommended accessories. Also, I did see some lights on the site just not sure which one works best? Also, the recommended mount or arm for it.

Let me know, thanks!

I'm sure 777 Edge can point you in the right direction, if you ask him.

I ended up assembling a light setup for my Kadet Pro, with parts sourced from Amazon.
Works great.

I use a Fenix head lamp. Even if my sharpening area is well Sun lit. I've also used a Dewalt work light with an adjustable head. It did ok but took up too much room. I almost knocked it off the table more then once.

It's hard to beat a head lamp. The light goes where your eyes go. Not your eyes going to where the light is. Struggling to see. Having to adjust things.

You can get a nice and bright view of the edge.

I also have a Kobalt brand head lamp but it's kinda heavy. You'll feel the weight after an hour into running the edge.

This is the attachment that I designed for Gritomatic to work on the Hapstone R2.

I designed it to be paired up with the articulated arm that I also designed for them but I don't see that specific arm available anywhere on their website.

You'll have to drop Gritomatic a message and see what they have that will work with the attachment above.

Nooooo, no, noooo.
Those cheap lights can damage your sharpener. Always buy original lights made for your sharpener. More expensive it is, better it works.
