General Theory


General Theory

 

Keep tasks short enough to do in one class period
    Break up projects if necessary
    Machine the components, inspect, fill out inspection report
    Students that get done early get a break

Loosen up the tolerances
    The best students will use micrometers

Projects should be fun, have movement, assemble

Let students make what they want somedays
    Use their own design on parts of projects
    Some days with no assignments

Many of these students will never run a machine again

Ask myself.  How simple can this be?
    Have the complicated setups done for them
    Threading w/o releasing the half-nut

Early in the year:
Saw the material for them
Have speeds and feeds set on the machines
Tell them the speeds and feeds
Have them Make chips
    Started on mills with fly-cut blocks
