Machines Involved:Planer / Thickenesser / Rip Saw
• Process the following cutting list from the stock provided.• Note: Stock size is 650mm x 70mm x 50mm Rough Sawn material• All dimensions are in millimetres• Use the surface planning machine, thickenessing machine and rip saw
to process the cutting list.• Important points to note:
• Surface Planer: Know how to safely and correctly check the fence for square in relation to the in-feed table, set the bridge guard and guides for planing face side and face edge and the correct and safe hand positions when planning.
• Thickness Planer: Know the correct starting procedure for this machine and the appropriate depth of cut to take in each pass through the machine.
• Rip Saw: Know how to set both the SEDGWICK and JET rip saws for cross cut and rip operations. You must also raise and lower the blade/guard on the JET saw in relation to the material height as it is fed into the saw blade.

WT4603
Explanation:
1. A score of 85/100 is required to pass the practical machine exam2. Critical Fail: There are 5 critical fail elements within the marking scheme as follows:
i. Selection and use of appropriate PPEii. Isolate machine prior to setting fencesiii. Correct setting of blade guard and blade exposureiv. Correct and safe procedure when surfacing material (Hand Positions)v. Correct setting of rip fence for crosscutting
3. Should you fail to demonstrate any of the outlined critical fail elements then your exam will be terminated and you will have failed.
4. Students who score below 85/100 marks or produce a critical fail will be required to repeat the exam at the end of the semester (Week 12/13)

2. Isolate Machine prior to setting fences:• Visible demonstration of student ability to locate machine isolator and switch to off
position. • If the isolator is already in the off position then you should demonstrate this and proceed
with task3. Accurate setting of fence to 90˚ to the infeed table• Demonstrate the use of the square4. Correct setting of bridge guard and blade exposure• Adjust depth of fence in relation to the width of the timber + 10mm• Adjust blade guard to appropriate position• Demonstrate adjustment of the bridge guard to the appropriate position for face side and
face edge
