Miter Saw Project Overview
As a student, this project represents an exciting opportunity to develop my mechanical design skills and gain hands-on experience with real-world components. Through this project, I have improved my ability to analyze mechanical parts, create CAD models, and better understand the principles of engineering design.
Miter Saw Project Outline
This project showcases the process of designing components by reverse engineering parts of a miter saw, from initial sketching and dimensioning to 3D modeling.
Project Approach
In this project, real miter saw parts were analyzed to sketch the general shape and basic dimensions. This information then facilitated the creation of professional drawings and detailed 3D models.
Challenges in Dimensioning
The trickiest aspect of this project was the initial phase: ensuring all necessary dimensions were accurately captured from the start to avoid repeated measurements and adjustments later in the design process.
Key Components Modeled
Several key components of the miter saw were used as references for creating the drawings and models, including the spring, spring insert, spindle assembly, and armature fan.
