You are using a hacksaw to cut a Class 8 bolt. What is the most appropriate TPI for your saw blade?

49% Answer Correctly

	18 TPI
	8 TPI
	2 TPI
	10 TPI

Solution

A Class 8 bolt is made of very hard metal and larger TPI saw blades are most appropriate for very hard metals.

Which of the following would provide the most accurate measure of the diameter of a solid cylinder?

59% Answer Correctly

	tape measure
	inside micrometer
	ruler
	outside 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.

You've bored a large hole in a piece of wood to insert a doorknob. Which of these tools would you use to smooth the edges of the hole?

41% Answer Correctly

	chisel
	file
	plane
	rasp

Solution

Files consist of diagonal rows of fine teeth and are used for fine finishing work to smooth, polish, or shape objects. Rasps are files with larger teeth that are used for coarse finishing work. Both files and rasps are designed to be inserted into detachable handles.

The primary difference between a standard level and a bullseye level is which of the following?

54% Answer Correctly

	a bullseye level has only one bubble to center
	a standard level can measure across two dimensions
	a standard level has only one bubble to center
	a bullseye level can measure across two dimensions

Solution

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.

What is a caliper used for?

56% Answer Correctly

	measuring thickness and irregular shapes
	ensuring that surfaces are level
	transferring distances between objects
	making perfectly vertical lines

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.
