19
Q
Types of Sander
A
- Disc sander
- Belt sander
- Orbital sander
- Palm sander
20
Q
Butt Joint
A
- Connects two pieces of timber
- Ends are placed together at a corner
- Nailed or Glued
- Sometimes reinforced by corner pieces
e.g. Building Frames
21
Q
Dowel Joint
A
- Joins the edges of two pieces of timber
- Corresponding drilled holes are joined with dowels and glue
- Accuracy is essential when drilling holes
e.g. Tables and Chairs
22
Q
Comb Joint
A
- Ends of two timbers interlock at 90 degrees with small finger like slots
e.g. doors and floorboards
23
Q
Dovetail Joint
A
- Similar to comb but pins and tails are not straight and so are resistant to being pulled apart
e.g. Drawers and Cabinets
24
Q
Half-Lap Joint
A
- Two timbers joined together at a corner
- Material is removed from each and they are overlapped
- Reinforced with dowels or nails
e.g. Framing
25
Q
Mitre joint
A
- Two timbers joined at 90 degree by cutting them at 45 degrees
- Quite weak so keys are used for reinforcement
e.g. Picture frames
26
Q
Housing Joint
A
- T shaped Joint by inserting a timber into a cut channel
e.g. Shelving or Cabinets
27
Q
Mortise and Tenon Joint
A
- A joint by inserting a tenon tongue into a mortise hole
- This is a very strong joint
e.g. Table legs
28
Q
Bridle Joint
A
- Similar to a mortise and tenon but the tenon is longer and the mortise doesn’t have a top so the tenon can slide in
- Stronger but less attractive than mortise and tenon
e.g. Legs or frames
29
Q
Corner Halving Joint
A
- Two interlocking channels in the corner of the timber
- Reinforced with glue or screws
e.g. Frames
30
Q
Cross-halving Joint
A
- Constructed in the same way as corner-halving but in the middle of the frame
- Allows internal parts to cross each other
e.g. Strengthening for tables or boxes
31
Q
Biscuit Joint
A
- Small slots are cut in the edges of the timbers using a biscuit joiner
- Fibre biscuits are inserted and glued, securing the timbers together
e.g. Tabletops
32
Q
Kerfing
A
- Cutting thin slits into timber, evenly spaced apart, allowing the wood to be bent
- Only really works if you can only see one side of the wood
e.g. Guitars
33
Q
Steam bending
A
- Timber is placed into a sealed steaming box, allowing it to absorb the hot moisture
- Now it is easer to bend, so is clamped into a former and left to dry out
- Once it is entirely dry, it can be taken out and will stay in its set position
34
Q
Laminating
A
- Thin layers of wood called veneers are glued together and clamped together in a former
- Once taken out, they hold their curved shape
- Veneering can also be done through vacuum pressing
