Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to use tools to manually produce work to precise dimensions and/or finishes.

It covers performing precision tasks on a range of metallic and non-metallic materials using a variety of tools, instruments and power equipment.

Where the interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.

Where precision measurement is required unit MEM12003 Perform precision mechanical measurement should also be selected.

Where precision marking out is required unit MEM12006 Mark off/out (general engineering) should also be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Band: A

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Techniques include one (1) or more of the following:

cutting out

drilling

fitting

filing

reaming

lapping

broaching

burnishing

scraping

polishing

hand held grinding

chiselling

Precision work includes one (1) or more of the following:

scraping machine beds to precise tolerances

broaching a keyway

hand reaming the bore of a spigot or bush to a positive transition fit with shaft

core drilling (finishing) a blind hole to receive a mating pin

lapping a mechanical seal to fine finish

filing complex angles and mating edges

precision grinding using a flexible drive shaft attachment

Precision outcomes include one (1) or more of the following:

specified tolerances

allowances

fits

finishes

alignments

Tools or equipment required to achieve precision outcomes include one (1) or more of the following:

reamers

files

chisels

polishing buffs

lapping plate

broaches

flat, half round and bore scrapers

Tool adjustment includes one (1) or more of the following:

tool shape

rake angle

clearance angles

Inspection and preventative maintenance include one (1) or more of the following:

visual checking of leads and connections

sharpening of cutting equipment

repair of associated tools

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
