2010 Machine Tools Donation

Mentor Ken Sterk arranged for a donation of serviceable machine tools from Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems in August of 2010.

We got a nice lathe and mill from the Capistrano Test Site, and some accessories including a rotary table and a cabinet of tooling, cutters, collets, gage blocks, etc., all essential for utilizing these machines. Ken coordinated obtaining transportation and the move into the Robotics Lab.

Many thanks go to Northrop Grumman for the donations, to Ken Sterk for leading the move effort, and to all those who assisted in the move.


The mill is loaded onto a truck.


Specialized moving equipment was required.


Ryan and Anton are pleased with the new lathe.


It's a great new mill for the team. Thanks Northrop Grumman!
