Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson - Mechanical apprenticeship training and the recognition of trade-level skills in performing machining operations on a lathe to produce components to required tolerances and specifications using all types of accessories.Skills covered by this unit are generally applied in occupational and work situations associated with trade-level fitting and machining work.This unit does not cover turning of multi-start threads or use of taper turning attachment, copy turning attachment or multi-start threads.Where the selection and use of power tools/hand held operations is required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Tooling includes one (1) or more of the following:

high speed steel, tungsten carbide, ceramic graphite and other standard cutting tools

boring bars

drills

reamers

thread chasers

tapping heads

taps

Instruments include one (1) or more of the following:

manual and digital micrometres

vernier calipers

dial indicators

scribing blocks

Speeds and feeds include one (1) or more of the following:

setting up machine

changing gears and speeds

use of lead screw

calculations

Accessories include the following:

three and four jaw chucks

centres

face plate

steadies

cross slide

tailstock

Turning operations include one (1) or more of the following:

manual parallel and taper turning

internal and external turning, including boring drilling, reaming, single start thread cutting and parting off

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
