Re: ATM 1/2" thick 24" diameter quartz. Is it possible?



Mike,
 
Too thin to make a mirror, both because it will sag too much at that thickness/diameter ratio, and because you'll make a hole in the middle grinding it. Is it free from inclusions? If so, it might make a dandy optical window or perhaps even a Schmidt corrector plate, but probably even that only if you grind it down to 18" or so...
 
good luck,
Herb.
