SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMENDTIONS

This chapter presents the findings, conclusions and recommendations of of

the project development study.

Summary of Findings

The study aimed to design and develop an Improvised High Speed Metal

Cutter through the knowledge and skills that the researchers have learned in their

course. The study had the following findings.

1. The researchers designed and fabricated an Improvised High Speed Metal

Cutter. They used their knowledge and skills to formulate the study. They

considered the components, material specification and metal treatment

which have been useful in the construction. The material specifications

used in the study were affordable, economical, and available locally in near

areas. In technical, the researchers were able to familiarize themselves with

the different processes they have utilized in the construction of the project.

They used different techniques and strategies they have learned in the field

of Mechanical and Welding. The process was used in fabricating the frame,

machining the CRS shaft and wiring installation.

2. After testing and evaluating the improvised high speed metal cutter, it was

proven to be efficient, useful, durable and safe.

2.1. Cutting efficiency. The machine was proven to have an accurate

measurement of metals to cut. As well the surface finish is good and

acceptable.

2.2. Usefulness. On the final testing, the machine can cut different sizes

and forms of metals with its corresponding measure.

2.3. Durability. The researchers tested the metal cutter to know if it is

working. The researchers ensured that the used metal and materials

in making this prototype is standard and workable.

2.4. Safety. The researchers provided the safety control measures to

ensure that the operator is safe on cutting operations.

3. The operational and maintenance manual of the project was developed

with proper operating procedures, maintenance and safety of the project.

The researches provided a several steps and guidelines for metal cutter to

give satisfaction and how the machine maintains on its good surface finish

and smooth cutting. The operation and manual provided by the researchers

will benefit and will accommodate the demand of the operators.

Conclusions

The following conclusions were derived by the researchers from the

findings of the study.

1. The researchers have successfully used locally available materials in the

 3

fabrication of an improvised high speed metal cutter. They concluded that

all the design and fabrication processes in terms of material components

and technical specification passed through many testing, observations and

intense study. The material specifications were found in near areas and the

researchers ensured that the materials where in its best quality. The

technical components were based on the knowledge and skills learned by

the researchers on Mechanical Technology.

2. The fabricated metal cutter has efficiency usefulness, durability and safety

which are acceptable to help students for producing a good production and

rate of work. The machine is efficient, durable and safe based on data

gathered and evaluated to have precise design and accurate scale. They also

concluded that the performances of the project were proven effective and

accurate and the Mechanical students will benefit from it.

3. The operational manual is essential in the operation of this project and

assures of safe working procedures and proper maintenance. The

researchers concluded that the manual on operation and maintenance is

standard. They also concluded that the project provides an efficient and

reliable manual to the operators.

Recommendations

Improvised High Speed Metal Cutter offers advantage but require further

enhancement. Therefore, the researchers wish to offer the following

recommendations:

1. The working table may extend from 45cm up to 70cm to achieve the

desired wear of wheel diameter.

2. The 2HP to 5HP electric motor may replace with minimum 2,500 to 3,500

RPM.

3. Add more features and attachable component like measuring tape and

wheels to easily transport from one place to another.
