Boxford Lathe  Menu  

 

The Assignment

 
Each group is to design a single chess piece to be produced on the CNC Boxford Lathe.  The design (your preliminary annotated drawing) is to be approved by the instructor.  The selected design measurements are to be scaled to fit either 0.75” or 1.0” rod stock (make dimensions in inches with a width less than the diameter of the stock size you choose).

Task
Submit a preliminary annotated drawing during or before class (may be hand-drawn) of the piece with a table of datum points. [See how datum points are listed - note all lengths are negative Z]

    Implement your design concepts on the Boxford Lathe.
    Produce your chess piece in ABS plastic (Delrin).


    Submit the following:
       

·          Your groups’ original annotated approved diagram and final CAD produced copy

·       The Boxford produced G&M code program used to produce the part.

·       The two computer files used by Boxford to make the part

·       The part produced
