Week 1: Theory

Safety:

• Work place
• Hand tools
• Machinery
• Measuring

Hand skills

• 1. Work stations – table and vice
• 2. Cutting tools – identify type of tooling.
• 3. How to use tooling correctly.
• 4. How to prepare work piece (steel)
• 5. Types of steel – mild steel, stainless steel, brass etc.
• 6. Measuring equipment – vernier, micrometer inside and outside etc.
• 7. Read and understand CAD drawings
• 8. Types of symbols – radius, diameter, inside diameters    etc.

Week 1: Practical
