Graduation thesis „Shaft no.008 manufacturing technology“ is divided into six major sections. The first section consists of an introduction section which deals with the procedures of material management by separating particles. The second sections describes special features and demands for shaft making process, while the third sections involves properties of materials used in shaft making process. The fourth chapter shows the shaft making technology according to the drawing where all the particle separation processing operations are described. The tolerances that must be satisfied during the machining process are also specified. Demands and technological possibilities for shaft making process are worked out thoroughly in the fifth section of this thesis. The sixth section is a methodology section and it contains the analysis of a technical high school curriculum which is closely related to the tasks listed in this graduation thesis and the lesson plan for a certain level of qualification in accordance with the Croatian Qualifications Framework.
