Hi Logan

Yes that's my old tool.

Assuming a sag of 2.1mm and a diameter of 250, your focal ratio is currently 7.4 according to the stellafane calculator:

So there is a little more hogging to do, but I am impressed by how quickly you are getting to your target!

I am a little nervous that you may grind through those thin tiles at some point. I would feel better if we glued some new tiles over the top. At 80 grit new tiles will conform to the curve you are grinding very quickly. I could bring some epoxy (jb weld) and tiles to the meeting next Saturday if you would like to do that.

Happy grinding!

Rod
