Re: [ATM] 12 x 12 tile tools?

["Thomas Janstrom" <thomas@moiler.com>]

No reason why not, it would work just like a second glass blank being
used as the tool. The only reason I can see to use the 1"X1" tiles is if
your working with a pregenerated blank and you want the tool to mate
with the mirror quicker, smaller facets match (approximate the curve)
better than big ones.

Cheers, Thomas.

I will pass along a query from a friend:

"I was wondering why people use 1x1" ceramic tiles for
the mirror tool, I was wondering if you could use a
12"x12" tile and nibble it into a circle and make a
tile tool out of that.
"Do you think that would work?":
