I want to look into the mouth of the crucible of my induction furnace to see melt progression, but don't want to present my hansom face as a target for splashes even from behind a face mask. As the crucible is suspended at chest height (it's a roll over furnace) the obvious solution is a 'mirror on a stick' - but glass probably won't survive long in the foundry. Where to find mirror polished stainless steel in (say) a 6" square?

Why not polish up a bit of sheet and get it chrome plated. Reflectivity will be about 65% which is about the same as the standard for vehicle mirrors, so should be adequate I would think.

Will 6" diameter offcuts from inside laser cut circles do ? Probably in 16G

Photographers suppliers used to sell glazing plates which were highly polished steel - not sure if they still exist in this digital age?
Welding supplies have SS mirrors on a gooseneck for welding "around corners".
