Course details

This Fundamentals of Workshop Technology course is designed for beginners who have little or no experience with workshops. It will introduce you to the fundamental tools and machines used in manufacturing, such as lathe machines, shapers, planers, slotters, drilling machines, and milling machines. You will learn how these machines work, their main parts, and how to operate them safely. The course emphasizes hands-on practice so you can understand the processes of cutting, shaping, and forming metal or plastic components. You’ll also get a basic understanding of machining operations like turning, drilling, shaping, and milling. By the end of the course, you will gain practical skills that are essential for mechanical engineering careers. This course bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world manufacturing experience. It’s a great way to make engineering concepts like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and strength of materials more tangible and applicable. Start learning now and build a solid foundation in mechanical workshop practices!

Questions and Answers

Q: You're setting a centre lathe for mild steel. The toolmaker asks you to sanity-check the spindle speed using the exact phrase "calculate spindle speed for turning mild steel 30 m/min" before chips fly. The workpiece diameter is 50 mm and the recommended cutting speed is 30 m/min. What spindle speed do you set?

Q: On a pedestal drill, you're checking feed rate and someone googles "drilling feed rate calculation for 10 mm HSS drill". The spindle runs at 600 rpm and the recommended feed is 0.2 mm/rev. What linear feed rate should you expect?

Q: During SMAW on a 6 mm plate, excessive spatter and undercut show up. A junior searches "how heat input affects weld bead shape SMAW" while waiting for guidance. If you increase welding current but keep travel speed constant, what happens and what's the right response?

Q: You're patterning a sand casting and someone types "casting shrinkage allowance for grey cast iron" to double-check you. The nominal finished length is 500 mm. Grey cast iron shrinkage is 1%. What pattern length do you specify?
