I have made this telescope mirror blank cutting machine with an old center table , an old ceiling fan and a iron ring as a cutting blade . Its diameter is 12 inch , thickness of the sheet is 1 mm , height 2 inch.

I watch and got amazed what can a man do when he is hungry for knowledge: there's nothing impossible for him.

[@apollohill6733]

Very, very clever. Thanks for sharing.

Greetings from Egypt. Finally we can find a low technoligy that we can touch. Away from Western rich countries we can make our telescope cheaply. waiting for more brother.

[@astrovillager]

Yes brother, stay with me , i will upload more step by step. My mirror rough and fine grinding is completed

[@rodenreyes6320]

A precision instrument like the telescope can be created in the backyard,kitchen or chicken shed with meager resources...this is what you're showing the people...Congratulations!

I was browsing youtube to find a way to cut mirror blanks to make a telescope mirror, and came across your video. This has to be the simplest way to cut mirror blanks. Hats off to you brother.

[@danielortiz5747]

I wouldn't say the simplest, but the cheapest way for a low cost motorized machine. The simplest way is hay hand with a similar artifact non motorized. I did it.

[@dineshsingh4509]

Hats off to you brother.

Hi, does that look like 6mm or 8mm thickness? It's enough?

Not enough, use at least 19mm for best result.

You have to buy 40inch mirror blank, in India it is available.

[@werner7156]

Thanks for the suggestion, I also built one that is placed directly on the plate with screw clamps, but the cutting attempts are still pending and I still want to improve a few things on the machine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5aWop6KoJ51e8U

Water, electricity, silica dust, and carborundum dust - what could possibly go wrong 😱😱😱😱 I hope your lungs stay healthy

[@astrovillager]
