  2. Problem Definition Goal: design a machine to make clarinet reed blanks. 2

  3. Current Solution Hand plane Utility knife 3

  4. Planing Needs/Specs • Variable thickness: 2.7–3.4 mm • Smooth and flat 4

  5. Shaping Needs/Specs • Symmetrical • Variable width: 11–11.5 mm at butt; 12.8–13.25 mm at tip 5

  6. General Needs/Specs • Budget: $2,000 • Blade replacement cost • Safety • Time 6

  7. Background • Research current methods • Cost comparisons • Quality testing • Decisions • Clamp from both ends for planing • Human actuation 7

  8. Designs • Planing: • End Mill • Table saw • Jointer • Shaping: • “One quick motion” • Router • Table saw 8

  9. Viable Design 1 Planing: End Mill 9

  10. Viable Design 2 Planing: Table saw 10

  11. Viable Design 3 Planing: Jointer 11

  12. Shaping: “One quick motion” 12

  13. Viable Design 2 Shaping: Router 13

  14. Viable Design 3 Shaping: Table saw 14

  15. Criteria • Ease of cutting • Ease of blade change • Surface finish • Accuracy • Ease of blade changes • Maintenance costs • Safety 15

  16. Design Costs 16

  17. Problems/Concerns • Gauging thickness and width • Size of the material • Target market 17

  18. Schedule • Rough prototypes • Decide on final design • Solid model • Create materials list • Buy materials/tools • Build machine • Test to ensure quality 18

  19. Recommended Design: Planing End Mill 19
