Please post these here:

• Presented on possible beam redirection mechanism.

• Decided that we would indeed be using the Haas VF0 located in the student machine shop
• Talked to Mike Schnaff about the types of tool holders the larger the slant of the holder, the more stable the tool is: categorized into CAT40/CAT50/CAT60
• Decided to use the L-shaped mirror mounting
• Considered whether to purchase an additional tool holder and then modify it, or make a pin on the top of the mirror mounting.
  • Ultimate decision: Pin on the top of the Mirror Mounting, Cheaper than purchasing a new tool holder
• Discussed mounting pin diameter.
  • Final diameter: 0.75”
• Drew up initial designs
• Delegated responsibilities

• Initial SolidWorks design drafted
• Only achieved general understanding with the rest of the class, as all specifications are missing.

• Design finalized, but technical SoldWorks drawing cannot be completed until the optical package arrives and final specifications can be implemented in the design.
• C channel extruded aluminum forms basis of final design.
• Waiting on mirror mount and mirror/lens combination specifications
