Marking Out

Good Morning

Todays aims

Ensure that you understand and can use basic tooling Learn about the main types of datum Practice planning a task.

Scribe

Very sharp point Sharpened with an oil stone. Used for very sharp lines Should not be ground sharp Cuts into the work to produce its mark. Soft materials only

Tooling

Centre punch & Dot punch

Point angle 90

Centre punch:
Used for pre-drilling punches, and chisiling
Centre punch

Dot punch:
Used for lighter punching. Provides a protection line Prevents slip of callipers and compasses.
Dot punch Point angle 60

Dividers

Odd leg callipers

Used to scribe a circle or a radius. Tips need to be needle sharp and level.

Used to scribe following a datum edge or offset any other edge.

Questions
What do we use a height gauge for? What must we do before we use a height gauge? What do we use to keep our work Perpendicular when marking out? What should we mark out from:

A) The table B) Surface plate C) Surface plate and parallel strip.

Datum types

What is the purpose of a datum?

There are 3 main types of datum that you will need to know:

Point datum: A single point from which all measurements are marked out. Can you think when this would be used?

Point Datum All taken from one point

D B

Line Datum

This is a single line or sometimes two lines that all measurements are taken from.

The lines normally run along the central axis of a symmetrical shape.

The line datum's in green are where all measurements are taken from

Surface datum

The most common type of datum Taken from two edges perpendicular to each other Enables easy marking out using co-ordinates for centres and simple measurements for length.

Marking out planning

Before you mark out your component you must first plan what you are going to do and in what order.

This plan includes equipment needed and methods used. It enables the item to be marked efficiently without missing and measurements out

Your task

For the item you marked out last week you are to produce a plan. It must be logical and methodical. All measurements are to be included and how these will be produced.

That is another good lesson. Next week we will be practicing:
