How many teams have a mill and a lathe?

Re: pic: machines
 

116 has a mill and a lathe.

Re: pic: machines
 

45 has 2 lathes, one mini-lathe, 2 mills, 1 mini-mill, metal bandsaw, wood bandsaw, horizontal bandsaw, etc. etc. etc.


and why start a thread about this... seems kinda pointless to me...

I agree, this is probably going to start some trouble in the next day or two...we'll let it go and see where this heads..but the minute it turns to the wrong direction, its gonna get closed.

He's just curious about team's manufacturing capabilities... no harm, no foul.

Unless this turns into a haves vs. have nots debate... I see no problem.

we have a mill/lathe the comacitors keeped exploding so... the drill preess motor was doing such a good job as a drill we decided to promote it to mill

1047 has a CNC mill and digital lathe.

It's pretty super cool

but no one knows how to use it. (long story it was donated) hopefully we don't break it.

Team 854 has two lathes and a mill. We also have a CNC lathe and mill, but the lathe needs a new controller, and we are just beginning to use them. The problem is, they are running very old software, and it is reletively difficult to use- machine codes and such. We also have a radial drilling machine, which is basically a glorified drill press with auto-feed, MIG/Aluminum welder, and many wood working tools. Occasionally, we sneak next door to the Auto tech room to use their goodies: Metal bandsaw, tubing bender, shear, sheet bender, and various other tools.

We are very fortunate that we are one of the few schools in Toronto (Canada) that still has access to decent tech-ed facilities, so if there are any schools in T.O who need help with machine work, let us know and we'll see what we can do. :)

We're a tech school so we got all kinds of toys. about 9 manual milling machines, 4 CNC millers, 10 manual lathes, 1 CNC lathe, 2 mini CNC lathes, and 2 mini CNC millers, and a couple horizontal millers

Team 1093 has a mill, lathe, drill press, table saw, and band saw. Due to lack of permanent space however, we have not been able to set the mill or lathe up for the second year now. Grrrrrr...

Re: pic: machines
 

I think the real question in some cases is; how many of each of these does your team have! :D


And of those numbers, how many were donated because of our wonderful sponsors?

Re: pic: machines
 

234 has a mill and a lathe we go from the other school in the township when they had to shut down the township tech department. I smell a CNC in the future too.

Re: pic: machines
 

we are poor. We have a drill press. Pretty much nothing else.

341 formed a partnership with the local tech center last year.. it's been quite a boon, as we have around 10 manual lathes, 6 manual mills, and a digital lathe.. Our two CNC machines were taken out in september for some reason, and the new ones haven't arrived, so everything this year has been man-made..
