 Exercise No: RECTANGULAR TRAY MAKING

AIM
To make a Rectangular Tray of given size from a sheet metal piece.

APPLICAnON

Cabinets of stabilizer, computer, UPS etc

SUPPLIED MATERIAL SPECIFICAnON

Galvanized Iron sheet of dimensions 200mm x 150mm, Thickness 26 gauge

TOOLS REQUIRED
1. Steel ru Ie 2. Scriber 3. Steel square 4. Straight snip
5. Anvil or Bench plate 6.Stake 7. Mallet

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

J. Checking II. Layout Marking III. Shearing IV. Folding v . Locking and Seaming
WORKING STEPS

I. Checking

1. Check whether the given sheet is having its dimension as 200mm x 150mm. If the dimension
is excess trim off llsing hand shear.
2. Keep one corner of the sheet between body and tongue of Steel Square and check whether the
sides exactly coincide with Steel Square.
3. Keep this corner as reference corner and these two sides as reference sides. This comer should
be kept at left hand side bottom position.

II. Layout Marking

1. Using steel rule and scriber draw five vertical lines at a distance of 10mm, 35mm, 165mm,
190mm and 200mm from reference vertical edge.
2. Similarly with respect to bottom edge draw five horizontal lines at a distance of 5mm, 30mm,
l20mm, 145 mm and 150mm.
3. Shade the unwanted portions as shown in figure. Portions G,H,l and J are called as seam
allowances.

III. Shearing

1. To remove portion A cut along the direction shown by arrows.

IV. Folding

I. Keep the pattern over square stake such that the inner line of hem portion I exactly coincides

with the edge of stake.

2. Fold this portion 90° downwards with the help of mallet

V. Locking and Seaming

I. The incomplete tray is having four corners. Keep one comer in align with the comer of stake.
Using mallet fold the projection (Triangular in shape) 90° towards the tray. Repeat this step
for all other projections.
2. Fold the remaining portions G and H ] 80° outwards using stake and mallet to lock the folds.
3. Check for the dimensions.

RESULT

Thus the required Rectangular tray is made out of the given sheet metal piece.
