Please view the presentation below which shows a range of examples of the Y10 Resistant Materials metal Padlock project. This project involves creating a padlock from a blank of aluminium which is accurately drilled and milled. The hasp is made from mild steel formed in a jig and threaded. The nut is brass which is turned and knurled (textured) on the centre lathe and then threaded. The whole product has to be accurate and attractive, the quality of work below illustrates good attention to detail and a high level of pride int the project.

The video below shows the use of a bending jig. You will use this to create the hasp of the padlock. The jig means you can produce the same bend radius over and over again. When setting up to bend the material must be at least 40mm
