We have constructed a good deal of the parts for our MCM. We still need to create the axle for out MCM which we plan on using both the mill and lathe for. The axle will have to have two different diameters which is why we will need the lathe and one of the diameters will have flat surfaces on the top and bottom so it fits in the parts shown above. After we have the axle made we just need to assemble our MCM and setup the electronics for it. Which we plan on being done with by the tuesday evening before Thanksgiving break. Our completed MCM will look like the first picture above with an axle attached to it. The MCM will rotate using the externally controlled motor and the arm will slid in and out on another motor. Also by Wednesday before Thanksgiving break we will have the rest of the build order and plan for our other machine completed.
