COURSE DESCRIPTION: ◦This is the first course in Machine Tool

Technology. Fundamentals of Machine Tools provides the basic principles needed for a solid foundation in machine tool technology. Areas and machines covered include: safety, measurement, layout work, bench work, saws, drills, grinding, the lathe and milling machines.

OBJECTIVES:◦The student will learn and explore the many

procedures involved in the operation of basic machine tools and at the end of the semester, the student will be able to: 1. Identify and be aware of general shop safety

rules and guidelines. 2. Identify and properly use machinists’

precision measurement gages and equipment. 3. Identify and properly use various layout tools

as well as follow layout procedures. 4. Identify and properly use various machinists’

hand tools.

5. Identify and properly use various saws and cutting equipment used in the modern machine shop.

6. Identify and properly use various drill presses and drilling machines.

7. Identify and properly use various grinders and grinding equipment to sharpen drills, lathe cutting tools, as well as other tools found in the machine shop.

8. Identify the various parts of the lathe and perform simple machining operations such as turning, threading, knurling, parting and others.

9. Identify the various parts of the milling machine and perform simple machining operations such as milling flat surfaces, grooving, steps and angles.

CLASS REQUIREMENTS:◦Projects

Layout project – Drill point gage Lathe Projects – Turn shaft and Thread shaft Screw Jack Mill projects – Square block and Mill plate V-Block

◦Exams One (1) Mid-Term exam One (1) Final exam

◦Quizzes Several quizzes throughout the semester

◦Daily assigned reading for specific topics if make-up work is required

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT/SUPPLIES:◦Safety glasses (Clear with No tint)◦Dial/digital calipers (Not plastic)◦Calculator◦Navy blue uniform shirts (2) with school

and program logo from E-town laundry◦School supplies; pencils, paper, notebooks…

Required text book◦‘Machine Tool Practices’ Eighth or Ninth Edition by

Richard Kibbe, John Neely, Roland O. Meyer, Warren T. White

CLASSROOM POLICIES/PROCEDURES:◦It is the primary goal of the Machine Tool

Technology Program and instructors to assure your success in the program and your employment upon graduation.  A key factor in your success is the attendance of all lectures and labs.  To assist you in achieving your objectives the Machine Tool Technology Program has obtained an electronic time clock which is used to track your attendance in all of your Machine Tool classes.  This information will become a permanent part of your student folder and assist the instructors in recommending specific students for employment in the Machine Tool Technology field.

Students will receive a Daily grade composed from such things as safety habits, work ethics, motivation and attitude, as well as grades from in-class activities such as quizzes and worksheets.

The shop will be cleaned after each use and all students are required to assist in the cleanup. The last day of class is major shop clean up day and attendance is mandatory, any student that fails to show up on major shop cleanup day will have 5 points deducted from their final grade.

Due to the fact that there will be quizzes, group discussions, and hands-on exercises during class; absences, being tardy and leaving class early should be kept to a minimum. After 4 occasions of missing any part of a class, a student will lose 5 points per absence from their final grade. Any adjustments to this policy will be at the instructor’s discretion and only when legitimate documentation is provided for all absences.

If it is necessary to miss class, the responsibility belongs to the student to find out what was covered and be ready to participate in class when they return.

There will be no makeup lectures or quizzes. Makeup tests will be scheduled at non-class times. Failure to take a make-up test on the day scheduled will result in a grade of “0” for that test.

Should you desire to withdraw from the class, you must fill out the required form, obtain the instructor’s signature, and submit the form to Student Services by the appropriate date listed on the Institution’s calendar.

Field trips will be taken during the course of the semester to area manufacturing firms and machine shops and your participation is required.

Work that is turned in after the time and date due will be penalized 25% per day.
