Novel Tool for Cutting MC Cable
Team: SBD-MC23
- Program: Mechanical Engineering
- Course: Mechanical Engineering Senior Design II EN.530.404
Project Description:
MC Cable is a helical metal casing wrapped around electrical wires, used to protect them from damage. Cutting it requires use of a specialized tool which is bulky, tedious, and uncomfortable to use. Our project is to create a new device capable of cutting MC Cable that improves upon the current industry standard.
