Assessment 2 - Machine Parameters & Correct Tooling
Scenario
You are the engineering apprentice for a large industrial company. As part of your
training you must undergo appreciation courses in the other trades. The following
tasks form part of a mechanical fitter’s job description.
Tasks
1 You need to find a picture of a micrometer (pg 86), explain its function and how to
read it so that it can be used to monitor the machining process. You must also find a
picture of the crossfeed handle on the lathe. This is the handle that feeds the cutting
tool/post across the face of the work adjust (and makes the tool cut deeper into the
side of the metal). You need to describe the measuring scale on the handle so that you
can explain how to set the depth of cut.
This will cover the marking criteria P4.
2 On this task you can use the information gathered in assignment 1 task 3, the lathe
cutting tools (pg 98). You need to draw the four cutting tools, roughing, knife,
finishing, parting, and describe how they are used on your plumb bob project.
The next part of this task involves you drawing the correct tool position diagram (97)
showing how the tool is set against the work being cut and what will happen if the
cutter is in the wrong place.
This will cover the marking criteria M2.
