Welcome to Metals
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. 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. Projects can also be hand forged using the forge furnace. 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.
These are the topics that we will be covering this year!
