A primary and secondary school makerspace is a comprehensive venue that facilitates project-based learning, innovative practice, and interdisciplinary integration for all students. Its core objectives are to cultivate students’ innovative thinking, problem-solving abilities, hands-on practical skills, and teamwork awareness.

At the primary school level, the focus is on sparking creative interest and developing hands‑on habits, enabling students to master basic tool usage and to perceive the connection between technology and creation. At the lower secondary level, the emphasis shifts to strengthening innovative thinking and design capabilities, guiding students to carry out project design and fabrication around real‑life problems. Woodworking and metalworking rooms are important vehicles for achieving these goals.

The equipment configuration in primary and secondary school woodworking and metalworking rooms has evolved from traditional hand tools to modern, safer devices.

Of particular contemporary significance is the introduction of miniature student‑safe machine tools. Companies such as Xiandao Digital, since 2002, have been pioneers in bringing industrial design and manufacturing elements into China’s education sector. Their products are widely used in campus makerspaces, science and technology innovation, labor technology, metal and woodworking, general technology, and other curricula. These miniature machine tools are scaled‑down prototypes of industrial‑grade machines. They are compact, lightweight, require little floor space, and can process a wide range of materials. They are powered by a safe 12V voltage.

Metal Sawing Machine with Pipe Bending Attachment (W101MExtB)

Functional Features:

The sawing machine operates on a safe power supply and has a plastic‑free body, which greatly improves stability and durability. It is equipped with a saw blade auxiliary device that significantly extends blade life and makes operation easier and more convenient. Through special design, the saw teeth cause only mild vibration upon skin contact, ensuring safety without injury. The maximum cutting depths are: hardwood 4mm, plywood 7mm, softwood 18mm, thin aluminum sheet 0.5mm, and acrylic 2mm. It can perform straight or curved cutting, making it an excellent aid for students in model making.

Technical Parameters:

Motor speed: 20,000 r/min ±15%

Spindle speed: 3,000 r/min ±15%

Voltage/Power: 100V‑240V, 36W (24W or 60W optional)

Motor and spindle housing integrated as a single metal unit

Worktable area: 100×120 mm

Saw blade stroke: 4 mm

Product dimensions: 177×285×279 mm

Packaging dimensions: 305×220×310 mm

Processable materials: thin aluminum sheet, acrylic sheet, wood, KT board

Applications:

Campus makerspaces, labor technology, metal and woodworking, senior secondary general technology, comprehensive practice courses in schools and institutions, as well as personal DIY projects.

In terms of equipment, miniature student‑safe machine tools are precisely designed to address safety concerns – their low‑voltage power systems, multiple protection mechanisms, and user‑friendly operation all take full account of the characteristics of primary and secondary school students.

The proliferation of makerspaces and labor‑technology equipment has moved labor and technology education from mere theoretical instruction to genuine hands‑on practice. As one educator put it, the construction of these spaces “lets education return to the source of life.”

Looking ahead, the development of woodworking and metalworking rooms in primary and secondary schools should move in a more systematic, curriculum‑oriented, and safety‑focused direction. Let every child experience the joy of creation through sawing and sanding, and nurture engineering awareness through design and fabrication – this is not only an essential part of labor education but also a fundamental foundation for cultivating future innovators.
