Which of the following statements about an 8-point saw is not true?
an 8-point saw makes a finer cut than a 12-point saw |
|
an 8-point saw makes a rougher 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.
Which of the following is not a common pliers configuration?
wire |
|
needle nose |
|
locking |
|
adjustable joint |
Pliers are designed to provide a mechanical advantage, allowing the force of the hand's grip to be amplified and focused with precision. Pliers also allow finer control over objects that are too small to be manipulated by the fingers alone. The standard configuration is combination pliers which provide a fixed maximum jaw width. Other styles include adjustable joint pliers that allow selecting jaw width, needle nose pliers for holding small objects in tight spaces and locking pliers that will lock in place to hold or clamp objects together.
What is a framing square used for?
measuring length around corners |
|
marking lines at a right angle |
|
measuring thickness and irregular shapes |
|
ensuring that surfaces are level |
Rulers are used to both measure distance and to draw straight lines. Tape measures are flexible rulers made from cloth or metal and are useful for measuring longer distances and in tighter spaces. Both rulers and tape measures provide similar accuracy, commonly down to \({1 \over 16}\) or \({1 \over 32}\) inch. A steel framing square is made up of a shorter ruler (tongue) and a longer ruler (blade) that meet at a 90° (right) angle. A framing square is often used by carpenters when framing stairs and roofs.
The primary difference between a standard level and a bullseye level is which of the following?
a standard level has only one bubble to center |
|
a standard level can measure across two dimensions |
|
a bullseye level has only one bubble to center |
|
a bullseye level can measure across two dimensions |
Levels utlize a fluid-filled tube containing a bubble that is centered when the surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb) along the direction of the tube. While a standard level can measure along a single dimension, a bullseye level is circular and can indicate the levelness of a two dimensional plane.
You're creating a tube out of a sheet of metal. What type of fastener are you likely to use?
nail |
|
punch |
|
rivet |
|
glue |
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.
