Your 8" F4.5 only has about 4 waves departure from the paraxial sphere or 1 wave at center and edge from the 70% zone , so certainly no need for any drastic measures  You need to push the curve out to the edge and the centre may raise up in the process. Conditions are fairly cool at the moment so you might consider the option of making yourself a plastic tent around the polishing table and warm things up .
Don't be impatient to get a good figure so quickly. Enjoy the journey. |
Hi Mark,
I have been using MOT and using the www stroke with emphasis on more wear on the outer zones so more over the centre strokes with a wider stroke towards the sides..
Yes has been real cold up here and I have been taking over the dining table at night..
Being much warmer last night it really made a difference with the amount of glass removed!
Should I try a different kind off stroke.
Thanks again Gary
