A mechanic needs to manually cut and finish a narrow rectangular keyway slot into a mild steel plate using bench and hand tools. What is the correct sequence of steps to complete this operation accurately and safely?
- 1Apply layout dye, scribe the slot boundary lines, and mark drilling locations along the centerline using a center punch.
- 2Drill a row of overlapping or closely spaced relief holes along the centerline to remove the bulk of the internal metal.
- 3Drive a narrow cape chisel between the holes with a ball-peen hammer to shear the remaining metal webs and establish rough slot depth.
- 4File the sidewalls and bottom of the slot with a square or pillar hand file to achieve final dimensions and a smooth finish.
Cevap
The correct operational sequence begins with laying out the slot boundaries and center-punching, followed by drilling relief holes along the centerline, shearing out the remaining metal webs using a cape chisel, and finishing the slot sidewalls and bottom to final size with a hand file.
The standard mechanical process for manually cutting an internal slot or keyway always progresses from layout and hole preparation, to rough bulk removal with a specialized grooving tool (cape chisel), and ends with fine dimensional truing using a hand file.
