[ATM] ronchi grating

[quantemlp at hotmail.com (c f)]

Hello to all,

I have started to polish my mirror, and I have built my knife edge/ronchi 
tester.  the only thing I am missing is the ronchi grate.  I have seen in 
the atm boards that this has been bought at orion, and edmonds,  I checked 
edmonds and they wanted $37 for it,  and newport glass wanted over $20 for 
thiers also.  but the prices I have seen on the boards are all around $6.  
is it possible to make this grating with the computer with success?  or is 
there a web site that I can order this from.  I have ordered the orion 
catalog and will check in there also when it comes in.  I can do the knife 
edge test and wire test with no issues, but I would like to follow up with 
the ronchi.  If anybody has any knowledge of where I can get this grating 
please let me know.  If there is a way to make it and have it done 
correctly, please let me know also.

clear skys to all
