What is the name for the marking gauge which is screw adjusted?

A

A combination mortise

50
Q

Where in relation to the grain to we mark with a marking knife and tri square?

A

Across the grain

51
Q

What is more accurate a micrometer or vernier calipers?

A

A micrometer

52
Q

How do we make sure our work is secure while we are marking out?

A

A vice

53
Q

What is a marking knife used for?

Torsai K

A

A marking knife is used in preference to, or with a pencil. This gives other tools like chisels to locate when working.

54
Q

Purpose of a marking gauge.

Torsai K

A

To inscribe a line parallel to an edge

55
Q

Purpose of a mortice gauge.

Torsai K

A

As per the marking gauge but with two adjustable pins to mark out a mortise joint.

56
Q

What are Datum edges?

Torsai K

A

Marked out faces of the flattest surfaces. They should be worked on and free of defects

57
Q

What do you use a surface plate for?

Q

What would we use to scribe a line parallel to an edge?

Ed H

A

A marking gauge

61
Q

What does the symbol for a datum edge look like?

Ed H

A

P

62
Q

What is does a tri-square look like?

Ed H

To look for flat surfaces when marking out datum edges or to find 90 degree angles

64
Q

What do we use instead of a pencil to give chisels something to locate into?

Joe K

A

A Marking knife

65
Q

What is a marking gauge used for?

Joe K

A

It is used to scribe a line parallel to an edge

66
Q

What is the difference between a marking and a mortice gauge?

Joe K

A

A mortice gauge has two adjustable pins

67
Q

Why do we work on a datum edge instead of any edge?

Joe K

A

Because it is usually the side with the least number of defects.
