Optical mirrors have a smooth, highly-polished, plane or curved surface for reflecting light. Usually, the reflecting surface is a thin coating of silver, or aluminum on glass. Search by Specification | Learn More about Optical Mirrors

Fly cutters are rotary tools that use one or more single-point tools for plane surfacing. Learn More about Fly Cutters

...a source at its focal point, and reflect it as a collimated beam, parallel to the axis. Off-axis paraboloid reflectors are a circular segment from one side of a full paraboloid. The focal point is off the mechanical axis, giving full access... Search by Specification | Learn More about Reflectors
