Harko! Thanks this is exactly what I'm looking for. Now that I've got spec's
I
can design this monster and see how much resin I'll need.



I'll be turning a 2 meter mirror with two radiuses of curvature on it plus
the
secondary and if that's successful I'll be able to make any mirror I want.
Actually I'll be testing a whole bunch of glass before I mount up $80000 in
glass.

I need to reach at least 5ìm(micrometer) precision; making it out of resin
will
allow better temperature control with child water piping. The final polish
to
1ìm (ë/2) or better will be done using traditional diamond lap methods.



The only thing I need to find is a cogless linear drive that has a
repeatability
of 0.1ìm or 0.05ìm.



Heck, I could even make a profit! J/K. But even if I end up with lathe that
won't turn glass to the required finish, imagine the surface finish on
metals!



Wish me luck! And thanks for the help!

Jack Hudler

Hi Jack

This is the best one that I know of. You can do things like get close then
use
linear ways and put a release agent on the bottom of them to make the
accurate
base. I worked on a George Fisher lathe and they even made the spindle
housing
out of Epoxy Cement. There are many benefits to making the machine that
way.
Vibration will be dampened and the finish on the parts will be great. Most
hardinge lathes have a granite base. Any other questions
