Unit 205 - Marking
out for engineering activities
You will develop skills in using mechanical marking out equipment to
prepare for both hand and machine tool operations. You will work with
a variety of materials including: ferrous, non-ferrous, non-metallic
and composites which cover a range of supply states including, stock
sizes, castings, forgings and pre-machined components. You will develop
the planning and preparation of marking out to stated tolerances and
be familiar with the use of datum's, work holding devices, specialist
requirements of different types of material and forms of supply. When
faced with complex operations you will be able to recognise problems
and seek appropriate help in determining solutions.
