THE VERTICAL MILLER (1)

V. Ryan © 2003 - 2021

A vertical miller is used to shape metals such as mild steel and aluminium. It can also be used to shape plastics such as perspex and nylon. Full size milling machines such as the one shown below are powerful but also very accurate/precise. The cutting tools are very expensive and are broken easily if the machine operator tries to take too deep a cut, in one go. When using a vertical miller, the machine should be set up to cut away only a small amount of metal each time the cutter passes over the surface of the metal.

A wide selection of cutting tools are available. They are made from high speed steel and are strong enough to cut through mild steel, cast steel and aluminium. Three examples are shown below with an example of the profile they cut into the metal.

DIAGRAMS OF SOME CUTTERS

PHOTOGRAPHS OF REAL LIFE CUTTERS

The milling tool has a screw thread at one end. This is turned into the chuck. A cloth is wrapped around the tool before this is done as it can easily cut through flesh. Care must be taken when setting up a cutting tool.

Essay-style questions are worth a lot of marks. Not only do they test knowledge and understanding, but they also assess whether you can apply these successfully in a coherent argument.

This type of question is often based around legal, ethical or environmental issues, and also programming. It usually involves some kind of discussion. For example, a question may ask you to discuss the impact of a new technology, or to discuss why legislation is necessary. Another question might require you to discuss standards in programming and why they should be adhered to.

The examiner will be assessing knowledge, how this relates to the question and how well you can communicate it. You should include relevant technical terms.

The next two pages include two sample questions with ideas about how you might tackle them.

Papers and boards are formed from wood pulp, which comes from trees. This squishy wood pulp is rolled out into thin sheets in paper mill factories to form the papers and boards that we use.

Paper

Papers are made from wood pulp . Their density is measured by their weight, in grams per square metre (gsm). The lower the gsm, the thinner the paper will be. Paper comes in standard sized sheets - the smallest is A10 (roughly the size of a postage stamp), and the largest size is A0 (a large bed sheet). The most common sizes are A4 and A3.

Board

Board is categorised by weight as well as thickness; the weight is measured, like paper, in grams per square metre (gsm) and the thickness is measured in microns. One micron is 1/1,000th of a mm.

Fossil fuels are a finite resource, meaning that they cannot be replaced once extracted from the ground. In 2015, 80 per cent of energy consumed in the world came from fossil fuels. In early 2018, the UK's dependence on fossil fuels was at a low of 77 per cent. Examples include:

Coal

Use of coal for electricity generation in the UK has fallen since 2012. This energy is created through the burning of coal, which is usually crushed first. The hot coal heats water, turning it into steam . The steam builds up to a very high pressure and this is used to spin a turbine . The turbine is connected to an electrical generator , which creates electricity.

Advantages of coal

Disadvantages of coal

Natural gas

In 2017, natural gas accounted for over 30 per cent of the UK's energy production. It is used for heating and cooking and is one of the main sources of powers for electricity production in the UK.

It is most commonly produced off-shore and transported through pipelines to a gas-powered electricity power station. In the UK there are shale gas deposits. Shale gas is obtained using a process known as fracking , which involves cracking large rocks underground. There is a lot of discussion about whether or not this process should be used, with concerns around damage to land and the release of harmful gases.

Advantages of natural gas

Disadvantages of natural gas

Oil

Very little of the UK's electricity comes from oil as it is mainly used for fuel or is turned into plastics . However, a very small amount is burned to heat water, creating steam, to generate electricity.

Many modern materials are developed for specialist applications; however, some have become available for general use.

Concrete , aluminium and steel are all commonly used modern materials, but more recent additions include materials that have changed the way we manufacture and use products.

Graphene is a single carbon layer material which is hypothetically 100 times stronger than steel. It is hypothetical because we are yet to manufacture it in large enough quantities to prove this. In theory, it could provide body armour that is bulletproof, invisible and almost weightless.

If the whole of Wembley Stadium was covered in a layer of graphene, it would be almost invisible and be unbreakable, yet it could all be lifted it with one finger.

Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) use the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals to display an image. The liquid crystals are between a liquid and solid state. When charge is applied to each liquid crystal, the shape changes to either block light or let light through. This ensures text or images display on the LCD.

LCDs require a backlight to work and many modern devices now use organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) instead, which allows devices to be thinner and lighter. OLEDs are more expensive as each pixel is its own light, but they allow for thinner panels and better colour and contrast .

Nanomaterials are tiny particles of 1 to 100 nanometres (nm) that can be used in thin films or coatings such as the oleophobic coatings on smartphone screens that repel greasy fingerprints, or hydrophobic materials that repel water.

Breathable fabrics are designed to allow body moisture to evaporate away from the body, through the use of a breathable membrane laminated between layers of fabric, whilst still remaining waterproof. The membrane has microscopic holes, big enough to let body moisture through but too small for rain, and it is often used in tents and waterproof walking gear. Examples include Gore-Tex, Permatex and SympaTex.

Designing a product for a can be done in several ways. cannot risk investing large amounts of money into the production of a product that has not had adequate design, modelling, testing, and .

is a circular design process that models, evaluates and improves designs based on the results of testing.

Starting with a a designer may come up with a good idea that solves a problem. Using an iterative design process, a model can be made from a design sketch and then tested. The test results may suggest failures and to the design. These changes are evaluated, and then the cycle begins again - until the best solution to the problem is found.

ideas in card, paper, clay or other materials can create a cheap and quick way to do initial trials with a product. Using an easy to modify material provides a good way of seeing how a product looks and works, eg checking handles are in the right place or parts fit together well. Taking photographs or video throughout this can show development.

Once a model has been made it can be tested in a variety of ways:

destructive testing - tests the product to its extreme to see what conditions it can tolerate before being destroyed, to help decide on the best materials and construction methods to use

non-destructive testing - tests the model to identify areas of weakness without destroying it, to test the function of the product and highlight any unexpected design flaws

market testing - tests the product with its to give feedback on performance and design

This article was last updated on 4 May 2023. We know exams and revision can be challenging in all kinds of ways, especially when it comes to remembering all the facts and figures that may pop up on your exam paper... If only there was some way to make remembering them easier... some kind of memory hack or something...
Well, have we got some good news for you! The Mind Set team are here with their top techniques and handy hacks to help cement those fiddly facts and faffy figures into your mind. Watch this short video for some tips and then read our recap below.

Video Transcript Video Transcript

Milly I like active revision, such as teaching, testing, drawing and singing.

Lauren Each subject is different, so you can't revise it the same way. You can't put all your eggs in one basket.

Shay If I read a piece of information five times in one day, I was never going to remember it. But if I read it once a day for maybe one or two weeks, it was definitely going to go into my long term memory for the exam.

Milly I sat in the car with my mum once and I literally taught her a subject, because I think it is really beneficial to teach someone what you know, and it also identifies hotspots of a subject that you don't know.

Shay I always got someone like my mum to help me when I was doing my revision. For example, she never studied history, but it didn't matter. Reading something out loud with someone can really help, rather than just passively reading the content all the time.

Daniel I make visits on my phone with questions and answers for the test to have coming up. I walk around my house listening to my voice notes in my headphones, and I remember it fast just like a song that I hear on the radio.

Iain I would keep my mind maps around my room, colourful and everything. So that way, even if you don't know you're revising, you're still picking up and retaining the information in your head, and if they're so colourful, it means that it catches your eye.

Sekani For English, I really like to shout quotes at my friend and she'll shout quotes at me, and it'll really help us remember because it's really a funny experience. So if we're laughing about it, you tend to remember like happy memories more, so we're shouting Macbeth quotes at each other, it really does help.

Rohan Multiple choice quizzes are a fun way of testing knowledge rather than doing a full past paper.

Lauren So I used a lot of songs in my revision for like things like equations in like science and maths and quotes in English literature, and what I did was, I would take a song that was popular at the time or what was just stuck in my head, and I would substitute the lyrics to the equation, just add the equation into the lyrics and learn it that way.

Joe I like to use drawings when revising to help jog my memory. It's simple and it's full. It's fun to do because it's different than just writing things down.

Sekani When I think of themes in Macbeth, such as ambition and gender, I can link them to news stories and that really helps me remember them.

Shay You'll often hear people say that the best way to revise is maybe doing a 20 hour cramming session before the exam, but that's just simply not true. The best way to perform best in an exam is definitely to revise little and often.

Shay recommends asking a parent or guardian to help when you do your revision. Although his mum had never studied history, it didn't actually matter; if you read something out loud to someone it can really help you to remember it, this is because you are doing something active rather than just passively reading the content. Milly also uses this method. She says, 'I think it's really beneficial to teach someone what you know and it also identifies hot spots of a subject that you don't know."

You could try making voice notes on your phone with questions and answers for your upcoming exams, like Daniel. This way you can walk around the house listening to the voice notes in your headphones. Daniel says that this helps you remember the answers like you remember lyrics to songs. Talking of songs and lyrics, Lauren would take a song and swap the words of the equation with the lyrics to help learn equations in science and maths, and to remember quotes in English literature.

Making colourful mind maps and putting them up around your bedroom could help you pick up and retain the information in your head, and it won't even feel like you're revising. This is Iain's preferred revision technique. Joe also liked to use drawings when revising to help jog his memory.

Like Rohan, revision methods such as multiple choice quizzes might work for you as they are a fun way of testing your knowledge, rather than using a full past paper. Or you could just shout English literature quotes at your friends like Sekani. She assures us that this helps her to remember the quotes! Her theory is that if you are laughing about something, then you tend to remember it better. We're always up for a laugh, so it works for us!

Flashcards are really useful when you're revising. They can help you test yourself and you can personalise them to include the things that you struggle to remember. Here's some top tips on how to create a fun and fact-filled flashcard that will work for any subject you are revising!

Creating a mind map can really help your existing knowledge of a subject and help solidify that information in your mind. Mind mapping is a great way to plot down a lot of information on a subject to help your remember the things you need to know. Here are some useful things to remember when you create a mind map, and some mind map examples for you to check out for inspiration!

You should always tell someone about the things you're worried about. You can tell a friend, parent, guardian, teacher or another trusted adult. If you're struggling with your mental health, going to your GP can be a good place to start to find help. Your GP can let you know what support is available to you, suggest different types of treatment and offer regular check-ups to see how you're doing.

If you're in need of in-the-moment support you can contact Childline, where you can speak to a counsellor. Their lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Checking on your progress isn't just about using past papers.

Check out command words carefully to understand what the question is asking of you!

Use past papers to make sure that you are managing your time well. Set yourself a time frame to complete each question

Go through past paper answers with a different colour pen to highlight any marks you lose or mistakes you make

Test yourself. Find out if your revision has been effective by using past papers or ask someone to test you

If your notes are all bullet points, past papers might be the first chance you have to write in clear and linked sentences!

Examiner reports can give you an idea of where students went wrong in previous exams

Repeat your testing - it is important you test yourself more than once. Try it ten minutes after revising a topic, one day after, then a week later.
