12
Q

Why is it important for the body of a drill bit to be slightly tapered

A

Means it is fractionally larger in diameter at the tip then at the shank, therefore causing it to bore a hole with clearance to prevent the drill from binding

Q

What is the purpose of a drill guide

A

The hand held drill guides keeps the drill 90 degrees to the skin surfaces.

24
Q

How is a hole finder used

A

When replacing an old skin with a new one. If no pilot holes drilled in new skin.

The finder resembles a clamp that slips over the new skin and on its underside is a pin that exactly fits through the hole in structure. This guides the drill in making a new hole in new skin that aligns with the old one.

25
Q

What’s the advantage if using a drill agent

A

Improves hole life
Hole tolerance hole finish
(Shown in AMM if allows and what one)

26
Q

What should be taken into account when drilling hard materials in comparison to soft materials

A

Drill speeds (revolutions per minute)
Hard materials should be drilled slower

27
Q

What are the two systems of fits

A

Hole base and shaft base

28
Q

Describe what reaming is

A

Process which a fluted tool is used to enlarge a drilled hole.

A hole that is to be reamed is drilled 1/32 inch under the finished hole size

29
Q

How could you determine wether or not a reamer will produce a hole of the correct tolerance

A

Test it in scrap materials

Reamer generally produce a hole that is 0.001 inch larger than exact size of reamer

30
Q

What are the common factors that affect the size of the reamed hole

A

Pilot hole
Hardiness of material
Amount of material being removed by reamer
Speed of reamer
Rate of feed (pressure)
Sharpness of reamer
Amount or type of lubricant

31
Q

How many different types of flute are there on a reamer and what are they

A

Straight and spiral flutes

32
Q

What are the benefits of using a pilot check reamer

A

Gives accurate lead into a drilled hole and superior finish

33
Q

Expansion hand reamers may be used on high tolerance aircraft parts instead of solid reamers
True or False

A

False as this could cause the danger of oversized holes

34
Q

What are likely causes of oversized reamed holes

A

Hand expansion reamers
Inadequate work support
Worm guide bushings
Bent reamer shank
Trying to straighten the reamer if bent

35
Q

In relation to countersinking what is knife edging

A

Sheet metal should not be countersunk all the way through else knife edging which could result in cracking (see SRM for minimum sheet thickness)

36
Q

What countersink angles are likely to be encountered in aviation

A

82, 100,120
With 100 being the most common

37
Q

What’s the purpose of a microstop countersink tool

A

Fitted with removable cutter and pilot.
Controls countersink depth and keeps work perpendicular to work surfaces

38
Q

What device is used to countersink inaccessible holes

A

Back countersinking

39
Q

What is spot facing

A

Used for cutting a flat area or seat for a bolt head or nut on a contoured or uneven surface

40
Q

What situations should you allow for extra depth when adjusting a microstop countersink

A

Because countersinking is done through skin tape or protective spray coating. Allow for added thickness

41
Q

What are the two series of an ISO thread form

A

United national fine UNF
United national coarse UNC

42
Q

What was a commonly used thread form

A

Whitworth thread form

43
Q

What is the thread form used in electrical fitting and scientific apparatus

A

British association thread

44
Q

What does a regular hand tap set consist of

A

Taper, intermediate and bottoming tap

45
Q

What is the essential element for successful tapping

A

Holes are the correct size and condition

46
Q

When using torque wrenches what has to be taken into consideration.

A

If the threads are wet or dry
The AMM stipulates the torque loading for both

47
Q

Does a wet or dry thread require more torque loading

A

A wet thread requires more torque to be applied

48
Q

If using an extension with a torque wrench what do you have to remember

A

It’s length must be taken into consideration
Because torque values on a deflecting beam or torsion will be taken from the centre of the square drive

49
Q

What is the benefit of synthetic oil over mineral oil

A

Synthetic oils are manufactured by chemical reactions and can produce consistent quality.
Whereas mineral oils can contain some impurities, less pure and less thermally stable

50
Q

What is the problem with putting a synthetic oil in a mineral system and visa versa

A

Lubricants should not be mixed.
Putting the wrong lubricant can break down a seal, destroying its effectiveness.
Therefore should always be clearly marked and check AMM

51
Q

How is a micrometer tested during routine calibration

A

Using a standard gauge block that is manufacturers to a very close tolerance (has calibration itself)
Then gauge block inserted between anvil and spindle - then closed.
Tool then adjusted to zero mark on thimble until exactly coincides with the sleeve datum line

52
Q

When using a micrometer what should be used to turn the thimble

A

Ratchet stop

53
Q

How many different types of measurements can be taken away with a venier calliper and what are they

A

Imperial and metric
External, internal and depth

54
Q

What is the most common vernier calliper and what is its range of accuracy

A

1/20 or 0.05mm

55
Q

When grinding with an abrasive wheel why should you not grind on the side of the wheel

A

A groove can form over time, creating a weak point that has in the past led to wheels exploding

56
Q

What maintence practises occasiaonally need to be performed on punches

A

Deburring of striking face
