Re: [ATM] next mirror.....
Jan,
At 75 kilos I'm not a weightlifter but I think I could just manage
lifting a 25 kilo mirror between wets while
grinding. Pushing a 20 inch, 25 kilo mirror during polishing, however,
is way beyond my physical limits,
judging from the effort I recently expended polishing a 300 mm mirror.
Wait till you've finished polishing
your 300 mm mirror before buying that 20 inch blank.
