Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Level saw blades

  1. Assess and match radial and circular ridges or lumps on both sides of blade.
  2. Use gauges and straight edges in radial and circular directions and monitor for accuracy.
  3. Remove ridges or lumps progressively through levelling and use stretcher or levelling rolls to flatten.
  4. Control hammering and rolling patterns to reduce internal blade stresses and avoid spring back and re-occurring defects.
