Advice from Prof. Culpepper:
- We will have to select the bushings for the carriage riding on the two rails
- We will have to choose the lead screw, the bearings for the end of the lead screw, and the lead screw nut
- We will have to design & manufacture the lead screw/carriage flecture
- We will have to choose the spindle shaft & bearings
  - We will be given the housing for the spindle shaft
- We will have to make the decisions on the bolts/threads for the bolted joints
  - The holes will be placed for us, we will tap them ourselves
  - We will select the bolts & nuts for purchasing
  - We must do the math to back up our decisions
- We will have to do most/all of the design & manufacturing for the drive train system
  - Chain, gears, belt?
  - Plan on this being a "huge time investment"
- We will be given the chuck/collet & tailstock
- We can assume for now that we will be given the crossfeed (though it might not be definite)
- Strongly recommended to water-jet pieces (frees up geometry constraints & production time)

The milestone is due on the date listed. The Gantt chart (to be made later) will show the overlapping work times.

Lead screw, lead screw nut, lead screw bearings selected

Future meetings will be held on Tuesdays after class (4pm) at Bexley Front Desk.
