  • Often used in factories
17
Q

Types of drills and drill bits:

A

Drills:
- Hand drill
- Pillar drill
- Portable drill
- Cordless drill
Drill Bits:
- Twist Bits (Timber, metal, Plastic)
- Countersink Bits (Make countersunk shape)
- Forstner Bits (Flat bottomed, smooth sided hole)
- Flat Bits (Fast and Accurate in timber)
- Hole saws (Interchangeable blades allowing for different sized, circular holes)
- Expansive bits (adjustable bits for shallow holes)

18
Q

File shapes

A
  • Hand
  • Flat
  • Half round
  • Round
  • Four square
  • Three square
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
