Workshop Processes Assessment

What are the key safety measures to follow in a workshop? (5)

• Store flammable materials near heat sources.

• Use tools without any training or supervision.

• 1. Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, masks). 2. Maintain a clean and organized workspace. 3. Use tools properly and maintain them. 4. Be aware of emergency procedures. 5. Keep first aid supplies accessible.

• Ignore all safety signs and warnings.

List three essential tools used in machining processes. (5)

• Cutting tools, measuring tools, workholding devices

• Sandblasting tools

• Welding equipment

• Drilling machines

How do you determine the appropriate material for a specific project? (5)

• Choose materials based on color preference

• Select materials based on brand reputation

• Use materials that are the cheapest available

• Assess project needs, research material properties, evaluate costs and sustainability, consider environmental conditions, and test materials.

Describe the basic steps involved in a turning operation. (5)

• 1. Set up a milling machine instead; 2. Use a welding torch on the workpiece; 3. Adjust the lathe for drilling; 4. Cut the workpiece before securing it; 5. Ignore safety precautions.

• 1. Setup the lathe and secure the workpiece; 2. Select and insert the cutting tool; 3. Adjust lathe settings; 4. Start the lathe and cut; 5. Monitor and adjust as necessary.

• 1. Measure the workpiece dimensions; 2. Clean the lathe; 3. Choose a paint color; 4. Start the lathe without a tool; 5. Take a break during operation.

• 1. Secure the workpiece with glue; 2. Use a hammer to shape the material; 3. Turn on the lathe without checking settings; 4. Cut without monitoring; 5. Stop the lathe to inspect the tool.

What is the purpose of a welding helmet and why is it important? (5)

• To enhance the welder's fashion sense.

• The purpose of a welding helmet is to protect the welder's face and eyes from harmful radiation and physical hazards.

• To improve visibility in low-light conditions.

• To provide a comfortable fit for long hours of work.

Explain the difference between MIG and TIG welding techniques. (5)

• MIG welding is better for precision work, while TIG welding is faster for thick materials.

• TIG welding uses a wire feed, while MIG welding requires a gas shield.

• MIG welding is faster and easier for thicker materials, while TIG welding offers more control and is better for thinner materials.

• MIG welding is primarily used for aluminum, while TIG welding is only for steel.

What are the common finishing processes used in metalworking? (5)

• Casting

• Polishing, plating, anodizing, painting, grinding

• Welding

• Forging

Identify two types of cutting tools and their applications. (5)

• Hammer - used for driving nails

• Saw - used for cutting wood

• 1. Drill - used for making holes; 2. Lathe - used for shaping materials.

• Screwdriver - used for turning screws

What safety equipment is necessary when using power tools? (5)

• Safety goggles, ear protection, gloves, dust mask, steel-toed boots

• First aid kit

• Safety helmet

• Reflective vest

Discuss the importance of proper tool maintenance in workshop processes. (5)

• Proper tool maintenance is essential for safety, efficiency, longevity, quality of work, and professionalism in workshop processes.

• Tool maintenance is irrelevant to workshop safety.

• Regular tool maintenance increases the risk of accidents.

• Proper tool maintenance is only necessary for expensive tools.
