49% Answer Correctly

outside micrometer

inside caliper

outside caliper

inside micrometer


Solution

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.


2

This tool is a(n) __________.

60% Answer Correctly

vernier caliper

outside caliper

inside caliper

outside micrometer


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.


3

Which of these saws is used with a miter box?

56% Answer Correctly

back saw

crosscut saw

hacksaw

rip saw


Solution

4

What is a caliper used for?

56% Answer Correctly

making perfectly vertical lines

measuring thickness and irregular shapes

transferring distances between objects

ensuring that surfaces are level


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.
