Hi Chris, thanks,I had thought of that option,but not sure if I would end up with an end product that would be free of strain etc. At this point in time I have ground out a number of mirrors in 19mm float. 18.5", 20.25", 22", 22.15", 25". The last three are polished out,each with a focal length of 117.5".The last two I am currently figuring.I have the 22.15" at around 1/2 wave PV at the moment (aiming for 1/4 wave on its first working), the 25" is more stubborn at worse than a two wave error. For a serious project I need more thickness,but at an affordable price,but yes, your suggestion is worthy of further investigation.
Anyone out there with further thoughts or suggestions? Your imput would be much appreciated.
