Q

Ripping dowels (band saw)

A

rounded stock tends to rotate during a cut. causing the sides to be spiralled. to prevent this use a vertical splitting bar behind the blade. clamping a block with a v channel and nail poking through will allow the cut to not spiral.

Q

Circle cutting on band saw

A

always start cut across the grain.

circle should be laid out so that the line is approximately 6mm (1/4”) from the edge of stock because a poor blade will runout

24
Q

circle cutting jig procedure (band saw)

A
  1. drive a nail into the plywood to act as the circles pivot point. this must be perpendicular to front of the saw. the distance from nail to blade is radios of circle.
  2. Drill a small hole in centre of the circle. make sure its one radius length from one edge and slightly more from the other three edges
  3. place the board with its centre hole over the nail. place the shortest side towards the blade. to cut the circle rotate the work clockwise until the full circle is cut.
  4. if you find the blade is leading to the left adjust the jig so the pivot point is slightly ahead of the blade
  5. if it is leading to the right, move the pivot point slightly behind the cutting edge of blade.
25
Q

Cutting curves (band saw)

A

requires blade to have little or no set

Make relief cuts

26
Q

if a blade for band saw has little to no set will it cut in only a straight line? T or F

A

true

27
Q

when do you make relief cuts (band saw)

A

before you start cutting

28
Q

what do you do if you need to make a sharp internal corner while cutting on a band saw?

A

pre drill holes at corner

29
Q

Three different types of blades for band saw

A

Fabric cutting blades
Metal cutting blades
Wood cutting blades

30
Q

Fabric cutting blades (band saw)

A

has a wavy curvey blade used for slicing through material not leaving a saw kerf

31
Q

Metal Cutting blades (band saw)

A
  • will be labeled as metal cutting blade and will have 14 to 24 teeth per 25 mm
32
Q

Coarsely- toothed metal blades for band saw are used to cut…

A

brass copper and aluminum, metals that do not spark

33
Q

Teeth on metal cutting blades have three different types (band saw)

A
  1. wavy set
  2. Regular set
  3. Every tooth set
34
Q

Regular Wood cutting blades (band saw)

A

had 4 to 10 teeth per 25mm

this results in a cut with two smooth sides and allows for interact cutting

35
Q

Skip tooth wood cutting blade (band saw)

A

has 1 to 6 teeth per 25mm

this is used for ripping or re cutting thick stock

36
Q

Control switch (drill press)

A

turns power on and off

37
Q

Quill (drill press)

A

Inside the head of the drill press there is a vertical sleeve called the quill. contains a rotating shaft where the chuck and drill bit are attached.

38
Q

quill clamp(drill press)

A

used to lock quill in position

39
Q

Depth stop (drill press)

A

used to stop drill when holes need to be exact depth.

40
Q

Feed lever (drill press)

A

feed lever rotates the pinion shaft

41
Q

Pinion Shaft (drill press)

A

moves the quill up and down while drilling a hole

42
Q

Spindle (drill press)

A

is a rotating shaft that is inside the quill

43
Q

Chuck (drill press)

A

mounted at the bottom of the spindle, this holds the drill bit. can hold bits up to 12mm

44
Q

Table (drill press)

A

supports the work.
can be raised or lowered
can tilt to allow for angled holes

45
Q

Table clamp (drill press)

A

holds the table to the column. when the clamp is loose, the table can raise and lower and swing left to right.

46
Q

Column(drill press)

A

vertical shaft that supports the table and head

47
Q

Base (drill press)

A

Bass supports the column it should be fastened tho the floor.

48
Q

Belt guard (drill press)

A

transfers power from the motor to the spindle. the belt is usually mounted on a pair of step pulleys. this is located at the top of the drill press and protects the entire belt system

49
Q

Drilling holes in metal

A

Lay out location
smaller holes may require punch
for larger holes you may need to drill pilot holes

use lube while drilling into metals.

50
Q

Drilling holes in wood (drill press)

A

sharp bit and correct speed. too slow and it will tear the wood, too fast and it will burn the wood.

when boring completely through a piece of wood place scrap piece behind it so that it does not tear the piece

51
Q

Hole saw bit

A

Ready available in sizes ranging from 3/4-4”

52
Q

Spade bit

A

also called a speed bore, relies of tearing rather then cutting action

53
Q

Plug cutter

A

used to make plugs and shot dowels.

54
Q

Multispur bit

A

is equipped with brad point and a number of teeth on its perimeter.

55
Q

Auger bit

A

used for boring deep holes in wood.

56
Q

Forstner bit

A

used for making holes with flat bottom.

57
Q

Mortising bit

A

used to make rectangular holes
