Topics include the interpretation and layout of machined and formed-part prints; the cutting, shaping, fastening, and finishing of machine tools; and casting, forging, molding, cold forming, and shearing processes.
Sheet Metal Projects, Characteristics and Sheet Metal Machines
This unit includes sheet metal processes and sheet metal characteristics. The lessons include safety procedures, planning , layout, and construction of small projects that teach basic operation of hand tools and sheet metal equipment.
It is important to note that these introductory lessons help teachers control class management and student behavior. The classroom is used as the initial meeting place and the paperwork and demonstrations act as motivation for the students to proceed into the shop/lab area.
