A: No matter the shape or layout of the kiln, the rotating base under it will be the same. It will be 60" to 80" in diameter and made of steel. I will presume that we want to support 2000 pounds of kiln and mirror on it and will want to rotate it up to 20 rpm. This was how fast my little 9" f/1.5 epoxy test mirror was spinning when I made it. The larger mirrors will need to be spun slower but that is easy once the faster capability is setup. | |||
