 Workshop Technology and Practice
WORKSHOP TECHNOLOGY
Workshop is a room or building in which goods are
manufactured or repaired.
Workshop technology is module of designed to equip
the trainee with knowledge skills and attitudes in
engineering production, processes with emphasis on
high quality finishing processes when using machine
tools and varied engineering material.
 Workshop Practices
Workshop practice gives the basic knowledge required
for the production of various engineering production.
 Workshop Practices...
• Drilling is a workshop practice that involves the
process of cutting or expanding hole of circular
cross-section in solid materials. The drill is the
executing tool that works the rotary action of its
bit. The bit is a rotary cutting tool, often multipoint
• The bit is pressed against the workpiece and
rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of
revolutions per minute. This forces the cutting
edge against the workpiece, cutting off chips
(swarf) from the hole as it is drilled.

• Cutting;This is technique where the
operator moves a material or workpiece
such as metal and the tool in relation to
each other in order to shape the
workpiece.Example of cutting material is
daimond ,disc.

Molding; Is a manufacturing process that involves
shaping a liquid or malieable raw material by using a
fixed frame.Example car interiors , electrical switches,
computer

Grinding;Is an abrasive machining process that uses a

grinding wheel or grider as cutting tool.Example
finishing of welding furniture
 Conclusion
• Generally on the above practices safety precautions
are to be maintained.
• Inside the workshop there should be enough
ventilation, lighting including emergency lighting,
enough space and temperature indoors should be
maintained.
