1.3.2 - Machine Safety

Objective: Know the machines used for the safety practical, and only those. A mentor demos each one. The doc page is the reference, not the sign-off.

Danger

This does not clear you on the mill, the lathe, the CNC, or the wood bandsaw. Those are later pathway training. Watching a mentor is not permission to start a spindle.

What a mentor will show you

Enough to make the practical part: mark it, cut it, drill it, clean the edges.

• Reading and marking parts for manufacturing.
• Cordless bandsaw, stock in a vise, not in your hand.
• Horizontal cutoff bandsaw.
• Sander, after the cut for clean edges.
• Cordless drill, and drilling a clamped part accurately.

Glasses stay on. You do not start one until the mentor has checked the setup.

Read these, in this order

Tools that a mentor will cover for this section, after demonstrating use of these tools safely and passing the Quiz you will have passed Basic Safety - This Does not allow use of tool not covered in this section yet, those are for specialization paths.
