62% Answer Correctly

ripsaw

back saw

hacksaw

crosscut saw


Solution

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.


2

An arc-welder creates heat using:

70% Answer Correctly

oxyacetylene

propane

natural gas

high voltage electricity


Solution

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.


3

You're creating a tube out of a sheet of metal. What type of fastener are you likely to use?

78% Answer Correctly

rivet

nail

glue

punch


Solution

A nail is a short pin-shaped shaft of steel that's typically used to fasten pieces of wood together. It has a flat head on one end and a point on the other. A rivet consists of a cylindrical shaft with a head on one end and a tail on the other. When the rivet is installed, the tail is expanded and reshaped to form another head, creating a dumbell shape that will hold two surfaces together semi-permanently.


4

Solution

A router is a tool that a worker uses to rout (hollow out), shape, or contour an area in relatively hard material like wood or plastic.
