Marking out a distance from an edge

39
Q

What are calipers used for?

Yan K

A

Measuring internal/external dimensions such as diameters

40
Q

What is the micrometer used for?

Yan K

A

Precise measurement of very small objects. Can measure the depth, length and thickness of whatever object fits

41
Q

What are the uses of the dial gauge?

Yan K

A

Checking flatness of surfaces and parallelism of bars and rods

42
Q

What are dividers used for?

Yan K

A

Scribing circles and also for taking off and transferring dimensions of objects

43
Q

What is a scribing block used for?

  • Ssnehnil G
A

Marking on vertically held work.

44
Q

What material are the rulers usually made out of?

-Ssnehnil G

45
Q

What units are used for measuring?

-Ssnehnil G

A

Millimetres(mm)

46
Q

Which is better for marking? Pen, Fine liner, Pencil.

-Ssnehnil G

47
Q

What can be used in conjunction with a surface plate to vertically hold pieces of work?

-Ssnehnil G

A

Angle Plate

48
Q

What is the best way to mark out wood if the angles of the marking change?

A

A bevel gauge

49
Q

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?

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?

Torsai K

A

The surface is ground to a high degree of accuracy and provides a datum surface against which measurements can be taken.

Why do we use a marking knife?

Ed H

A

Looks cleaner and is more precise

60
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

62
Q

What is does a tri-square look like?

Ed H

A

A right angle, it has adapted to its job over the years.

63
Q

Why do we use a try-square

Joe K

A

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.

68
Q

Why is it better to tilt the ruler?
