We spend the day tapping the 8020 parts of our design. The monitor did not quiet meet our expectations of its dimensions. Luckily, we added extra space around the monitor, so this issue can be addressed.

Speaking about the monitor, we had to mill the VESA mounting plate smaller and round off the edges.

It is important to use lots of coolant when milling acrylics, otherwise the heat from the end mill will melt the acrylic, causing the final shape to be smaller then what one expected. It also improves the surface finish.

Phil worked on the lathe today, making the strain gauge assemblies.
