abstract = "The Steward Observatory Mirror Lab is in the process of fabricating the 6.5 m mirror for the conversion of the multiple mirror telescope (MMT) to a single primary mirror. For this purpose the lab has developed a versatile polishing system built around the stressed lap polishing tool. The system must produce an f/1.25 parabolic surface with an accuracy corresponding to 0.09 arcsecond FWHM seeing and 1.5% scattering loss at 500 nm wavelength.",
