Overview

This unit covers performing complex milling operations,
including gear cutting and helical milling of a range of
materials.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • reading, interpreting and following information on written job instructions, specifications, standard operating procedures, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents;
  • planning and sequencing operations;
  • checking and clarifying work related information;
  • setting up work to the required level of accuracy;
  • determining cutting parameters;
  • selecting the correct milling cutter inserts for the cutting parameters in accordance with ISO standards;
  • calculating cutting parameters such as speeds, feeds and ratios;
  • setting up gear trains according to calculations and standard operating procedures;
  • safely operating milling machine, and;
  • performing complex milling operations using dividing heads and omniversal tables.

Required reading
