You are using a hacksaw to cut a Class 8 bolt. What is the most appropriate TPI for your saw blade?
8 TPI |
|
18 TPI |
|
2 TPI |
|
10 TPI |
A Class 8 bolt is made of very hard metal and larger TPI saw blades are most appropriate for very hard metals.
Screwdrivers are most broadly classified by their:
torque |
|
width |
|
tip |
|
length |
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).
Which of the following would provide the most accurate measure of the diameter of a solid cylinder?
outside micrometer |
|
inside micrometer |
|
tape measure |
|
ruler |
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.
Which of the following is not a type of electric-arc welding?
MIG |
|
TIG |
|
oxyacetylene |
|
stick |
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.
Which of the following is used in metal work for shaping metal?
rivet hammer |
|
mallet |
|
claw hammer |
|
ball peen hammer |
Ball peen hammers are most commonly used in automotive repair. They have rounded heads and are used to drive punches and chisels.
