Bossing Mallet
DT Online Buyers' Guide
  • Traditional Boxwood Mallets are now largely superceded by Nylon, PVC or rubber faced hammers and mallets for general work. They are available in a range of diameters and weights.
  • Carpenters' Mallets with a head size of 4-5 inches (100mm - 125mm) are a suitable size for most work in Design and Technology.
  • Carving Mallet heads are commonly made from Beech but Lignum Vitea heads are considered better because they are heavier. They may now be hard to find. A modern alternative is to use Polyurethane for the heads (Bronze or Brass also used). A good general size head weight for light work would be approximately 450 grams or less, and for general work, 800 grams is more suitable.
  • Bossing Mallets are sized by head diameter (35, 50, 60, or 75mm). The smaller sizes are used for art metalwork and the larger sizes are for shaping and stretching sheet metal and soft roofing materials such as lead.

Broaches
DT Online Buyers' Guide
  • If a suitable section of Tool Steel is not available, Broaches for the small-scale work most common in Design and Technology (in Brass for example), can be made by grinding teeth profiles into the shortened length of an old file for example (ideally, first Anneal the old file and re-shape it then re-harden and temper to ensure the finished Broach is not too Brittle).

Safety Point! If making from an old file, use a short length, grind a chamfer around the striking end, apply only light taps to reduce the risk of pieces breaking off, and always wear eye protection.

Centre Drill
DT Online Buyers' Guide

Centre Drills (aka Slocombe Drills) were designed to provide a location for a Tailstock Centre (hence their 60deg point angle) but are commonly used to make a small starting indentation to guide further drilling in a Lathe.

  • If used only to start a drilled hole then one or two of the mid-range sizes will suffice since it is only the tip of the Centre Drill that will be used.
  • Choose only those made from good quality High Speed Steel and offer them carefully up to the workpiece whilst it is rotating since the smaller sizes in particular, can break easily.

Centre Punch
DT Online Buyers' Guide
  • The lowest cost option is to use a hand-held punch with a hammer but a wide range of automatic punches are available - both Dot Punches and Centre Punches.
  • In general, Dot Punches have a sharper point (i.e. 60° instead of 90°) and need only the lower ranges of impact force (e.g. 20N to 50N).
  • Automatic punches are simply pushed down against the work-piece and do not need to be struck - indeed, should NOT be struck with a hammer.

Safety Point!

  • Fully enclosed machines with interlocks are advised for school use.
  • Only Lasers with the laser beam totally enclosed should be used in schools and an interlock provided to prevent operation unless the laser is enclosed - check Laser Safety with supplier.
  • Always isolate any CNC machine before adjusting tools or work piece and ensure hands are well clear of the table before switching on - when the program runs : the cutter will move!

Countersink Bits
DT Online Buyers' Guide
  • For most non-critical work in Design and Technology, countersinking can be achieved using a Twist Drill twice the diameter of the hole in question.
  • Combined Countersink, Pilot Drill and Counterbore drills can greatly speed up assembly work in wood.
  • For more precise work, purpose made Countersink Bits are available.
  • Choose High Speed Steel if countersinking steel since ordinary Carbon Steel is suitable only for wood and plastics.

Drill Press
DT Online Buyers' Guide
  • Stands for Portable Power Drills are inexpensive and adequate if only light work mainly in wood and plastics is intended.
  • For more general purpose home workshop use choose a bench drill.
  • The floor-mounted drill shown is for more arduous use drilling larger diameters.
  • A combined Milling/Drilling machine would be a popular choice for Model Engineers and in home workshops.
  • Mortisers comprise an Auger Bit inside a hollow square chisel which squares off the hole as it is drilled (Mortising attachments for Drill Presses are also available)
  • Mini-drills and PCB Drills are useful for modelling and for drilling holes in circuit boards to receive eletronics components.

Laptop
DT Online Buyers' Guide
  • Single Core processors are hardly ever available these days and Dual Core quite adequate (unless required for gaming and video editing etc.) but Quad Core would be better especially in view of the high graphics content likely to be needed for Design and Technology use.
  • Generally, the more expensive and newer processors and faster and more power efficient (although faster will almost always mean shorter battery life). Intel Core i5 and AMD Series-A8 processors or better are first choice but older Pentium or less expensive Celeron may be OK if only basic use is envisaged and speed is not a critical factor but cost is an issue.
  • Laptops for Design and Technology should have at least 4Gb of RAM (preferably 8Gb), 500Gb (preferably 1Tb) Hard Drive (but SSD is better), screen resolution of no less than 1600 × 900 pixels and Dedicated Graphics Card in addition to the usual network connections.

Multi-headed Mallet
DT Online Buyers' Guide
  • Traditional Boxwood Mallets are now largely superceded by Nylon, PVC or rubber faced hammers and mallets for general work. They are available in a range of diameters and weights.
  • Carpenters' Mallets with a head size of 4-5 inches (100mm - 125mm) are a suitable size for most work in Design and Technology.
  • Carving Mallet heads are commonly made from Beech but Lignum Vitea heads are considered better because they are heavier. They may now be hard to find. A modern alternative is to use Polyurethane for the heads (Bronze or Brass also used). A good general size head weight for light work would be approximately 450 grams or less, and for general work, 800 grams is more suitable.
  • Bossing Mallets are sized by head diameter (35, 50, 60, or 75mm). The smaller sizes are used for art metalwork and the larger sizes are for shaping and stretching sheet metal and soft roofing materials such as lead.
