Screwdrivers are most broadly classified by their:
tip |
|
torque |
|
length |
|
width |
Screwdrivers come in many different handle, shaft, and tip configurations for use in a wide variety of applications. Screwdrivers are classified by their tip which is shaped to fit a corresponding screw head. Common tips are slotted (flat) and Phillips (x-shaped).
An arc-welder creates heat using:
propane |
|
natural gas |
|
high voltage electricity |
|
oxyacetylene |
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?
drill |
|
file |
|
plane |
|
chisel |
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 saws would you use if you're cutting wood along the grain?
crosscut saw |
|
ripsaw |
|
hacksaw |
|
back saw |
The ripsaw delivers maximum efficiency at cutting with or along the grain (ripping).
What is a caliper used for?
measuring thickness and irregular shapes |
|
transferring distances between objects |
|
ensuring that surfaces are level |
|
making perfectly vertical lines |
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.
