Workshop
The Workshop - Yanta Tantra at Avantika is a well-equipped cluster of distinctive workstations where the students give form to their ideas. With practical-based learning spread across all programs, the workshop acts as the central point of students’ academic indulgence giving shape to their projects. The various shops (Wood, Metal, Welding, Fitting, Plastic, and Paint) consist of state-of-the-art machinery, and the support from skilled workshop instructors makes it one of its kind precinct for varied spheres of design, manufacturing, and fabrication.
Band Saw
A bandsaw is a power saw with a long, sharp blade consisting of a continuous band of toothed metal stretched between two or more wheels to cut material.
Bench Drill Machine
The bench drill is a smaller version of the pillar drill. This type of machine drill is used for drilling light weight pieces of material.
Grinder
A grinding machine is a tool or piece of equipment used for removing material from a workpiece via abrasion. They typically employ rotating abrasive wheels to shape, smooth, or finish workpieces through grinding.
Hand Fly Press
A Fly Press is a machine tool used to shape sheet metal by deforming it or cutting it with punches and dies. The punch is usually the top (male) tool and the die (female) bottom tool.
Lathe
A lathe is a machine tool that rotates a work-piece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, threading and turning, with tools that are applied to the work-piece to create an object with symmetry about that axis.
Planer
A planer is a type of metalworking machine tool that uses linear relative motion between the workpiece and a single-point cutting tool to cut the work piece. A planer is similar to a shaper, but larger, and with workpiece moving, whereas in a shaper the cutting tool moves.
Jigsaw
A jigsaw power tool is made up of an electric motor and a reciprocating saw blade. Jigsaws with sole plates that have a beveling function can cut angles typically up to 45 degrees relative to the normal vertical stroke to make miter joints. Portable jigsaws have historically been mains-powered, but are increasingly being displaced by battery-powered models.
Power Hacksaw
Power hacksaws are used to cut large sizes (sections) of metals such as steel. Cutting diameters of more than 10/15mm is very hard work with a normal hand held hacksaw. Therefore power hacksaws have been developed to carry out the difficult and time consuming work.
Sander
A belt sander or strip sander is a sander used in shaping and finishing wood and other materials. It consists of an electric motor that turns a pair of drums on which a continuous loop of sandpaper is mounted.
Tapping and Drilling
Tapping is the process of creating threads on the inner surface of a drilled hole. A variety of taps are available in the shop to match almost any screw type available, including metric and standard measurements. Information required to select the drill bit includes thread count, diameter, thread pitch, and coarse/fine threads. Creating a drilled and tapped hole first requires using a center drill. This gives the larger bits a center to align to, since most drill bits aren't perfectly centered when mounted in a drill chuck. This ensures the larger bits will drill in exactly the right place and won't walk across the part.
Spray painting
Spray painting is a painting technique in which a device sprays coating material (paint, ink, varnish, etc.) through the air onto a surface. The most common types employ compressed gas—usually air—to atomize and direct the paint particles. Spray guns evolved from airbrushes, and the two are usually distinguished by their size and the size of the spray pattern they produce.
