I supose that can be true...IF...you make a mistake.

It is a production machine...I remember bob having 4 4" lenses being polished out on this machine.

Each stroke arm is fully adjustible so you can monitor each mirror/lens independantly.

Bob has one machine that can run 15 mirrors/lenses at the same time. If an order calls for 30 exact duplicates of the exact prescription...he can do it.

Since he's giving it to me...I'll worry about making mistakes later.

And if worse comes to worse...I'll disassemble it and use it as parts for making GEM's or other telescopes.

It has lots of 2" pillow blocks...steal shafts. and cool fixtures for using to build custom made mounts.

There is more to this then just what it currently is.
