Default Line of light
What had been a mystery has become clear. For me, to see the "line of light" indicating a suboptimally sharp tool edge, I've got to hold the tool edge right under the light, like 2" away from the light to discern the edge/line. ocd

PS I very much appreciate all the input on my questions over the last week. Thanks.
