What is a caliper used for?

56% Answer Correctly

measuring thickness and irregular shapes

ensuring that surfaces are level

transferring distances between objects

making perfectly vertical lines
Solution

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.

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?

63% Answer Correctly

chisel

file

plane

drill
Solution

4

Which of the following statements about an 8-point saw is not true?

45% Answer Correctly

an 8-point saw has eight teeth per inch

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 makes a rougher cut than a 12-point saw
Solution

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.

5

Inside and outside micrometers measure inside and outside:

71% Answer Correctly

tolerances

angles

lengths

diameters
Solution

Micrometers measure the diameter of cylindrical objects. Outside micrometers measure the external diameter of cylinders and inside micrometers measure the internal diameter of the cylinder's hole.
