1

This tool is a(n) __________.

94% Answer Correctly

lever

screwdriver

chisel

punch


Solution

A chisel has a long sharp edge and is used, often in conjunction with a hammer, for cutting. In woodworking, chisels are used to remove large sections of wood to create the initial shape of a design. In metalworking, chisels are used to remove waste metal when a smooth finish is not required.


2

Which of the following types of saws would you use if you needed to cut the wood quickly and weren't concerned with leaving rough edges?

55% Answer Correctly

hacksaw

rip saw

coping saw

crosscut saw


Solution

Wood saws are categorized primarily by their teeth. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.


3

Which of the following statements about welding is not true?

63% Answer Correctly

a weld can often be stronger than the base materials alone

no filler metal is required when welding

electric-arc welding is safer than oxyacetylene welding

welding is done at higher temperatures than soldering


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.


4

An arc-welder creates heat using:

68% Answer Correctly

natural gas

high voltage electricity

oxyacetylene

propane


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.

What is a caliper used for?

56% Answer Correctly

ensuring that surfaces are level

making perfectly vertical lines

transferring distances between objects

measuring thickness and irregular shapes


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.
