You are working as a final year apprentice in the machine
shop of a medium sized engineering company. Your
supervisor is pleased with your work and your ability to
operate machinery to carry out secondary machining
processes.
Vocational Scenario or
Context Based on a review of your existing practical skills and the
research activities that you have completed, your supervisor
would like you to show further evidence of your
development, by investigating the health and safety
requirements of secondary machining processes before
setting up and machining a component.

, You have been asked to consider issues related to health and
safety and to produce a component using traditional
processing machines.


To do this:
Your tutor will provide you with a drawing for a component
that has at least six different features that you will need to
safely and accurately produce using at least two traditional
machining processes.
You must:
1. Explain how health and safety is managed for the
machines you intend to use and what regulations should
be met; and
2. Produce a risk assessment, which should include
consideration of all the significant hazards, be laid out on
in an appropriate template and include suitable control
measures. Ensure you show your use of this in the
following activities.

You then need to:
1. Safely and correctly set up the two machines to produce
the component, using suitable and appropriate
workpiece holding devices, tools and machine
Task 1 parameters (speeds and feeds);
2. Use the machines to produce the component safely and
accurately (so free from burrs, sharp corners and false
cuts);
3. Take measurements for each of the features and make
adjustments to ensure dimensional and surface texture
accuracy during the machining activities; and
4. Use cutting fluid where relevant, remove swarf and then
remove the workpiece from the machine correctly.
You must also:
5. Constantly refine the machine set-up and parameters
during the machining activities to ensure the processes
continue to produce a component that is accurate.
Factors to consider include:
• effectiveness - for example by optimising the feed
rate, the position/order of tools and the distance
travelled by the tools to machine the component in a
realistic time and
• efficiency - for example by replacing worn tools, using
the correct cutting fluid and monitoring the machining
processes.


You must provide evidence of all of the above using the most
appropriate evidence forms as noted below.
