We uncover that Craft &amp Design pupils often have difficulty remembering the sequence of operations involved when producing a straightforward screwdriver manage. These photographs depict this process.

We commence with the preparation of the 25mm aluminium blank. Soon after this the blank is held in the 3 jaw self centering chuck. A series of turning operations is then carried out. For the following we set a high spindle speed and utilized a slow feed speed for very best final results. Shown right here we show facing off. Then turning down or parallel turning. Subsequent taper turning. Right after that the Slocombe bit or centre bit is mounted in a Jacob’s chuck and a pilot hole is drilled. A HSS twist drill or jobber bit is then mounted in the Jacob’s chuck and a blind hole is drilled to a depth of 30mm. The depth gauge is utilised to judge this.

Taps and dies are utilized to reduce the internal thread on the screwdriver blade and the internal thread on the manage.

Lastly each components are assembled and the handle is knurled or provided a textured grip pattern. This is completed at a extremely low spindle speed and a slow automatic feed speed.
