Main Stages of Manufacture • Stage 1- Checking Materials • Is my metal square (90’) • Have I all the parts I need marked with my name - stored securely • Ensure your metal stays as scratch free as possible
Main Stages of Manufacture • Stage 2- Marking out • Check the measurements of your work piece against the technical drawing • ‘Measure twice, mark once!’ • Get to know the correct technical names of equipment.
Main Stages of Manufacture Stage 3 – Filing • Use a smooth cut flat file / Needle files • Keep work low in vice • Let the file do the work – don’t be aggressive
Main Stages of Manufacture Stage 4 – Cutting • Use a fine toothed hacksaw and or a piercing saw • Let the saw do the work- don’t be aggressive • Watch the sharp ‘burr’ edges
Main Stages of Manufacture Stage 5 – Drilling • Ensure work is securely held in machine vice or clamped. • Use the correct drill speed – if unsure keep it slow!
Main Stages of Manufacture Stage 6 – Bending • You can really only bend 1.5 mm sheet material successfully once • Do not attempt to bend sheet material by hand without the aid of a jig or vice.
Main Stages of Manufacture Stage 7 – Finishing • Using a flat and or square needle file – ‘Draw file’ to finish edges; • For aluminium use 150 grit Wet & Dry paper • Caution heat from friction
Main Stages of Manufacture Stage 8 – Assembly • Keeping all component parts safe unscratched will pay off at this stage. • Enjoy using your ‘MUSU’
Tools and equipment This is a metalwork Dot punch Used to indent a dot onto a metal surface usually to mark the centre of a drilling point This is a metalwork scriber Used to score a faint marking out line on a metal surface Sharp end!
Tools and equipment This is a set of Odd Leg Callipers. Used to scribe a line parallel to the edge of a piece of metal
Tools and equipment Senior Hacksaw This saw used with a fine toothed blade can easily cut Metal Sheet, Metal Bar and plastic tubing. At least three teeth on the blade should be in contact with the cutting surface at anytime to ensure a good cutting action.
Tools and equipment This is a piercing saw. With its very fine blade it is idealfor cutting very fine lines in sheet and thin bar metal. A correctly set and tensioned piercing saw blade will cut easily along a marked line with a smooth cutting action Slowly let the blade cut – No force required!
Tools and equipment No filing action on this smooth edge Smooth Cut Flat file This type of file is ideal for fine metalwork. Remember your flat file has one serrated thin edge and one smooth- non filing edge.
Tools and equipment Folding / Bending Press This is ideal for forming fine metalwork sheet material. Remember clamp your work at 90’ to folder and watch your fingers it will nip!
