Engineering Workshop Example 1

This workshop is intended particularly for examination level and vocational courses which focus on the use of metal to make functional products - it may also be use by younger pupils for general D&T work if timetable constraints dictate.

There will most often be a storeroom adjacent plus doors into the workshop and a door to the outside.

The workshop may also have access to a shared Heat Area, shared machining area and/or a collaborative project space - this is unlikey to alter the equipment inside the room but may increase the use of mobile equipment on braked trolleys brought in temporarily from outside

Note: The light grey shade areas around each machine tool indicate the safety areas which should be left clear between machines. The orange coloured strips alongside the safety areas indicate permissible overlaps between them.

Description	Code	Notes	Image
Technology Bench	LFTAB20	1200mm x 1200mm and also 1000mm x 1000mm sizes available with optional vice rack and/or cupboard - LFSPF33 is an alternative. One bench shown split to make half adjustable height with two vices.
Bag Store	LFSTR62	almost always needed in a practical room to avoid danger of bags on floor.
DT Storage Wall	FFFFU60	Fitted out to take small tools etc. and includes IWB tray unit, magnetic WB, plus pull-out fully serviced teacher caddy/desk. Position 90deg to windows.
Waste Bin	LEOTR487	in workshops needed for: paper, metal, wood, plastics, glass, plus non-recycle.
Pillar Drill	FESEQ301	position near centre of wall to avoid crowding - MUST be bolted down - head can be height adjusted to accommodate wheelchair users - esp. if 2 machines
Metal Turning Lathe	FESEQ633	bolt securely to the floor.
Milling Machine	FESEQ308	bolt securely to the floor - can be angled across an internal corner if necessary - universal miller most flexible - a CNC miller is an alternative
Crucible Furnace	FESEQ316	position near other heat equipment to share fume extraction - no other work takes place in the area during a 'pour' so can be in corner and safety spaces can overlap
Combination Forge/Brazing Hearth	FESEQ315	position such that fume extraction system can vent to outside wall
Welding Bench	FESPF318	provide both gas and electric welding and ensure fume extraction
Welding Screen	LESEQ637	portable and must be provided in open workshops to protect eyes if electric welding is available
MIG Welding	LESEQ329	for general purpose welding - provide also small portable oxy-acetylene gas welding set (e.g. for brazing, localised heating and welding thin sheet)
Sheet Folder	LESEQ636	fix to substantial bench - also available on floor stand or could be fixed to side bench - an alternative is a Box Folder
Notcher	LESEQ340	fix to substantial bench - also available on floor stand and larger version - alternatively use ordinary Bench Shears
Surface Plate	LESEQ638	an accurately ground datum surface from which precision marking out can be undertaken - provide with protective cover
Bench Grinder	FESEQ300	for general shaping and sharpening
