How often do you use your Oscilloscope?

im into electronics and i work with machines that cut lenses for glasses

Dr H, I do the same, although the lenses I make go into nightsights n stuff- I take it you're doing Diamond Machining (me too).

Oscilloscope- I rarely use it- it's an SS5702 and I've only ever used it to check the output on the feedback loops to the axes drivers.. if the signal is too big then the encoders need cleaning, but the machine usualy drops out if this happens anyway.

We got way too much gear here that never gets used.

To me, a scope is like many other tools that I have. I may only use it once in a while, but when I do, it is worth its weight in gold!
It will do things a DVM won't and saves me tons of time doing it. On those rare occasions!

I bought a Tek 475 on eBay for $150. It's very nice, but the delayed sweep doesn't work. A couple of weeks ago, I thought I'd send it for repair, as I didn't need it at the time. Of course, now that it's gone, I need it all the time. Need to tweak the PWM on my motor drivers.
