Drill Gauge project

Preview and Plan:

• Read and understand the proposed process plan for manufacturing the drill gauge.
• Research and understand the job plans, drawings etc.
• Investigate basic manufacturing process
• Conduct research into the safe use of bench and pedestal grinders.

Do:

• At an introductory level, research and compare manual and computerised manufacturing processes in terms of accuracy, productivity and complexity.
• Simulate a manufacturing process through the production of a drill grinding gauge.
• Conduct a basic operator level CNC machining process.
• Research drill bit terms and features for use when regrinding
• Resharpen a worn drill using the grinding gauge, using bench and/or pedestal grinders.

Review:

• Record evidence of the learning processes in this project.
• Review the finished product for quality.
• Reflect on how I worked with others
