Course Description:
The care and safe use of common hand tools
and machines are stressed in the planning, forming and fabrication of metal
projects. These skills are used to develop an understanding of the
materials used and the role played in the metals trade in today's technical
world. This is a hands-on course and projects can be fabricated from band
steel, sheet steel, tubing or sheet metal as well as cold rolled steel and
aluminum block. The students will learn the safe and correct use of the
drill press, power saws, the grinder, tube bender, and all the various sheet
metal forming tools. In addition, the student will learn how to spot
weld, oxyacetylene weld, arc (electric) weld, mig weld, and use a Plasma
Cutter. Students will be allowed to fabricate projects of their own
choosing after completing one required project. The students will also
learn how to do CAD drawings so they can use a CNC Engraving Machine and a CNC
plasma-cutting machine. Emphasis will be placed on accuracy and the
ability to construct a project according to plan.
