This tool is a(n) __________.
inside caliper |
|
outside micrometer |
|
outside caliper |
|
vernier caliper |
Calipers are similar to micrometers in shape but instead of measuring distances, calipers are used to transfer distances between objects. An outside caliper is used to transfer outside dimensions while an inside caliper is used to transfer inside distances. A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.
These tools are called:
rasps |
|
planes |
|
chisels |
|
files |
Wood chisels are used to shape or smooth wood surfaces. They come in a variety of widths and can be used with hand power or tapped with a mallet when deeper cuts need to be made.
Which of the following statements about welding is not true?
welding is done at higher temperatures than soldering |
|
electric-arc welding is safer than oxyacetylene welding |
|
a weld can often be stronger than the base materials alone |
|
no filler metal is required when welding |
Welding is a high-temperature process that involves melting the base metals in the objects to be joined to fuse them together. A filler metal is used to provide additional material to make up a joint that, depending on the weld type, can be stronger than the base materials alone. Oxyacetylene welding is a welding process that uses a torch fueled with oxygen and acetylene gases. Electric-arc welding utlizes electric current in a safer welding process (it doesn't involve burning explosive gases) that enables a wide variety of specialized applications like stick, MIG (metal inert gas), and TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding.
You're constructing a cabinet in your workshop and one of the cabinet doors is slightly too big. Which of the following tools would you use to make it fit?
plane |
|
drill |
|
chisel |
|
file |
In wooodworking, a plane is used to shave off a small amount of material to smooth a surface or make it fit properly. A jack plane is a general purpose plane that contains an adjustable depth blade set at an angle with a handle and knob to allow gripping when sliding the plane across wood.
Which of the following statements about an 8-point saw is not true?
an 8-point saw has eight teeth per inch |
|
an 8-point saw makes a rougher cut than a 12-point saw |
|
an 8-point saw makes a rougher cut than a 6-point saw |
|
an 8-point saw makes a finer cut than a 12-point saw |
Saw blades are described by the number of teeth per inch (TPI). The higher the TPI of a saw the finer the cut it will make.
