• Ensure that the lathe tools are sharp and sand the work using a range of glass paper grades from rough to smooth

Describe how to mark out the rounded corners, with reference to

workshop tools.

• Set callipers to correct size using rule and mark lines with them, centre punch the middle of the crosses then draw lines at 90° using a scriber and Engineer’s square

• Set odd-leg callipers to correct size using rule and mark lines with them, use a bradawl to mark the middle of the crosses then draw lines at 90° using a scriber and Engineer’s square

• Set odd-leg callipers to correct size using rule and mark lines with them, centre punch the middle of the crosses then draw lines at 90° using a scriber and Engineer’s square

• Set odd-leg callipers to correct size using rule and mark lines with them, centre punch the middle of the crosses then draw lines at 90° using a scriber and try square

Describe how to form the bend on the mild steel bracket, with reference

to workshop tools.

• Place the metal in bending bars/vice at the edge to be bent, use a mallet to bend the metal bar, use a former or jig to check the angle of the bend.

• Place the metal in a machine vice at the edge to be bent, use a mallet to bend the metal bar, use a former or jig to check the angle of the bend.

• Place the metal in bending bars/vice at the edge to be bent, use a hammer to bend the metal bar, use a former or jig to check the angle of the bend.

• Place the metal in bending bars/vice at the edge to be bent, use a mallet to bend the metal bar, use a try square to check the angle of the bend.
