Review 2 Flashcards
When you changed the band saw blade and restarted the saw, you notice that the band tends to
ride too far forward on the wheels. How can you correct this?
Adjust upper tracking knob
As you cut on the band saw, you notice that the blade disappears into the guide blocks
whenever you move the work piece forward. How can you correct this?
Bring the thrust bearing forward
As you cut on the band saw, you hear a rhythmic ticking sound. What does this indicate?
Weld may be failing
Which band saw blade width listed here could be expected to handle a curved cut with a 40 mm
radius?
a) 20 mm
b) 16 mm
c) 19 mm
d) 12 mm
12
On the band saw, how high should the upper guides be adjusted from the top of the work?
6mm
In the normal use of the jointer, the first step is
place the concave face of the board down on the infeed table
When one face of a board is true by using the jointer, what is usually the next step?
Joint the concave edge
When using the jointer on the edge of a straight 750 mm long board, you notice that the cut
starts out to be 2 mm deep but as you get to the end of the cut, the jointer is barely cutting.
What may be the cause?
the top of the cutting circle is set exactly in line with the outfeed table
When using the jointer on the face of a rough, meter long board, you notice that at the end of
the cut, there is a noticeable snipe for the last 50 mm or so. What may be the cause?
Outfeed set to low
How is the size of a jointer determined?
by the length of the knives
On the jointer, how is the depth of cut determined?
by the difference in infeed and outfeed table heights
Which defect might cause you to reject a board from surfacing on the jointer?
Dark ringed knots.
On the jointer, you wish to machine a stopped taper. Which step is critical to perform this step
safely?
use a stop block on the infeed table
How can you determine the shortest piece that may be safely passed through a thickness
planer?
measure the feed rollers from centre to centre and add 50
Under what circumstances is it permissible to send pieces of slightly unequal thickness through
a thickness planer?
If the infeed roller is sectional
How can you best control the tendency of a board to cup slightly as you reduce its thickness
substantially with a planer?
Remove equal amounts from each side.
On the thickness planer, which defect may be produced when the idler roller, upper infeed
roller and/or the chip breaker are set too high?
Snipe at the leading end
On the thickness planer, which defect may be produced when the pressure bar is too low?
Hesitation
A piece of furniture looks good but it is uncomfortable. What error did the designer make?
Placed form over function
The terms line, shape, mass, colour, tone and texture are used to describe what aspect of
design?
Elements of design
In design, what two descriptive terms are used to describe the 2-dimensional appearance of
an object?
Line and shape
When line and shape are combined to enclose 3-dimensional space, what is the result?
Mass
In terms of design, what do the terms proportion, balance, harmony, rhythm, emphasis and
repetition refer to?
Principles of design
What term describes relationship between the three main dimensions of an object?
proportion
