We do have a CNC lathe but our CNC mill is broken but we hope to repair it within the next month. This is being built with our machine shop class at our school so we have one experience machinist along with 5 students working with our robotics team. These designs are going to help us greatly in generating ideas with our students and engineers on ideas for future parts. This is top notch work.

Matt,

We did something similar to what you are thinking last year. The technocats design (with a little modification) can be completed without much CNC work. The hard parts of the design are the Shift Dog, the output shaft, and the 2 output gears. The output shaft can be done on a manual mill and a manual lathe without too much hassle. The dog & output gears are also somewhat difficult but they could be done on a manual mill with a rotary table to get the angles right. Once these 4 pieces are complete the rest of the parts can be done fairly easily on manual tools. I would start with those four pieces and modify the design to your needs after that.

Matt

Just drop a message here if you need help and I am sure you will get it.
