Original poster: Vardan <vardan01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi, I thought of that too *:-))But Peter, and many, point out that the mirror surface "we want" is only 1/8 inch wide. The "long face" travels in the wrong direction for us.
Peter already knows all about this stuff: http://tesladownunder.com/Lasers.htmbut he had to make something special instead. That would have been "too easy" anyway :o))
Cheers,
Terry

I haven't been following this post too closely, but I bought a used laser barcode scanner for around $20. It was the kind that is mounted in front of a cash register. I just wanted the laser, but it came with a motor that spins a rotor that had lots of mirrors on it. I believe the mirrors are surface mirrored, and looked to be high quality. Perhaps one of these could be useful in what you're doing, as they are often found surplus. Adam
