Which of the following statements about an 8-point saw is not true?
an 8-point saw makes a rougher cut than a 12-point saw |
|
an 8-point saw makes a finer cut than a 12-point saw |
|
an 8-point saw makes a rougher cut than a 6-point saw |
|
an 8-point saw has eight teeth per inch |
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.
When using a hacksaw, blades with __________ teeth are more appropriate for cutting thinner materials.
wider |
|
more |
|
thinner |
|
less |
A hacksaw has replaceable blades and is used to cut metal. The blade type is chosen based on the material that is to be cut. Blades with larger numbers of teeth per inch are more appropriate for cutting thinner materials.
You need to secure two pieces of wood together while the glue between the dries. Which of the following tools is most appropriate?
pliers |
|
clamp |
|
rubber band |
|
pincers |
A clamp applies pressure to prevent two objects from moving relative to each other, for example, to keep to pieces of wood together while the glue between the dries. A clamp is commonly made of metal and shaped like the letter C with a perpendicular flat-edged plate providing variable pressure between it and the top of the C as a screw to which it is attached is tightened and released.
This tool is a(n) __________.
inside caliper |
|
inside micrometer |
|
outside micrometer |
|
outside caliper |
Micrometers provide accuracy to the thousandths of an inch and come in outside and inside varieties. An outside micrometer is used to measure outside thickness, such as the diameter of a bolt, while an inside micrometer is used to measure the inside dimension of an object, such as the diameter of the hole of a nut or the width of a channel.
The __________ is an initial shallow saw cut made as a guide to prevent the saw from slipping sideways on subsequent more powerful cuts.
kerf |
|
guide |
|
groove |
|
channel |
When you start sawing by creating a kerf it will help prevent the saw from slipping sideways when you begin the power strokes that do most of the cutting.
