Generally, the core component of small precise optical device demands high accuracy of manufacturing processes. Although, the geometry of it is simple, the manufacturing technique to materialize is categorized as the ultra-precision machining and it must be done with the specialized machines and by the trained operator. Typical examples of small precise optical device are laser printer and phone camera. As a core part of laser printer, polygon mirror is used in laser scanning unit(LSU). It couldn't be fabricated with conventional machine but specified machine for polygon mirror machining. In this study, Polygon mirror with 16 surfaces was manufactured in the process of ultra-precision fly-cutting with Al material and investigated optimum machining conditions in terms of feedrate, pitch per cycle and depth of cut. Owing to process of polishing has bad influence on reflection angle, surface roughness, $R_{max}$=10nm, and form error, $Ra={\lambda}/10({\lambda}=632nm)$, are prerequisites for polygon mirror.
