Tool 2 Flashcards
This type of tool is used to remove a burr from an edge of a sheet or to deburr a hole
BURRING TOOL
The ________ is used to cut out metal parts, with some machines capable of shearing, squaring, and trimming metal. The _______ consists of a top and bottom die and most often cuts at a 90° angle, although some machines can cut metal into angles up to 180°. ________ are available in manual and pneumatic models able to cut various thicknesses of mild steel and aluminum. This is an excellent tool for quickly removing corners from sheet metal parts
notcher
__________ have a powered abrasive-covered disk or belt and are used for smoothing or polishing surfaces.
The ______ unit uses abrasive paper of different grits to trim metal parts. It is much quicker to use a ________ than to file a part to the correct dimension. The combination disk and belt _____ has a vertical belt sander coupled with a _________ and is often used in a metal shop.
Disk sanders
The ________ uses an endless abrasive belt driven by an electric motor to sand down metal parts much like the disk sander unit. The abrasive paper used on the belt comes in different degrees of grit or coarseness. The ________ is available as a vertical or horizontal unit. The tension and tracking of the abrasive belt can be adjusted so the belt remains centered on its rollers.
belt sander
___________ operate by electricity or compressed air. Pneumatic drill motors are recommended for use on repairs around flammable materials where potential sparks from an electric drill motor might become a fire hazard. Because of this, most power drills used in aviation maintenance work are pneumatic
When using the __________, hold it firmly with both hands. Before drilling, be sure to place a backup block of wood under the hole to be drilled to add support to the metal structure. The drill bit should be inserted in the chuck and tested for trueness or vibration. This may be visibly checked by running the motor freely
Portable power drills
__________ are the most common type of drill motor for aircraft repair work. They are light weight and have sufficient power and good speed control. ______ are available in many different sizes and models
Most ________ used for aircraft sheet metal work are rated at 3 000 rpm, but if drilling deep holes or drilling in hard materials, such as corrosion resistant steel or titanium, a ________ with more torque and lower rpm should be selected to prevent damage to tools and materials
Pneumatic drill motors
Special drill motors that drill two holes at the same time are used for the installation of nutplates. By drilling two holes at the same time, the distance between the holes is fixed and the holes line up perfectly with the holes in the nutplate
TWO-HOLE DRILL MOTORS
The _______ is a flexible extension used for drilling in places inaccessible to ordinary drills.
Available for electric and pneumatic drill motors, its flexibility permits drilling around obstructions with minimum effort
snake attachment
The _________ is a precision machine used for drilling holes that require a high degree of accuracy. It serves as an accurate means of locating and maintaining the direction of a hole that is to be drilled and provides the operator with a feed lever that makes the task of feeding the drill into the work easier. The upright drill press is the most common of the variety of drill presses Available
drill press
The drill speed on a drill press is adjustable. Always select the optimum drill speed for the material to be drilled. Technically, the speed of a drill bit means its speed at the circumference, in surface feet per minute (sfm). The recommended speed for drilling aluminum alloy is from ___1____ sfm, and for mild steel is ____2____ sfm. In practice, this must be converted into rpm for each size drill. Machinist and mechanic handbooks include drill rpm charts or drill rpm may be computed by use of the formula: ____3____
200 to 300
30 to 50
CS x 4 = RPM
D
A wide variety of drill bits including specialty bits for specific jobs are available. High Speed Steel (HSS) drill bits come in short shank or standard length, sometimes called jobbers length. HSS drill bits can withstand temperatures nearing the critical range of ______ (dark cherry red) without losing their hardness. The industry standard for drilling metal (aluminum, steel, etc.), these drill bits stay sharper longer
1 400°
________ drill bits are designed for hard, tough metals like corrosion-resistant steel and titanium. It is important for the aircraft technician to note the difference between HSS and ________.
HSS drill bits wear out quickly when drilling titanium or stainless. ______ bits are excellent for drilling titanium or stainless steel, but do not produce a quality hole in aluminum alloys. ________l bits can be recognized by _____2_______
Cobalt alloy
thicker webs and a taper at the end of the drill shank
__________ drill bits (most commonly available) are used for originating holes.
Single- fluted and two-fluted
_________ drill bits are used interchangeably to enlarge existing holes
Three-fluted and four-fluted
The principal parts of a twist drill are ____________
the shank, the body, and the heel
The best size for a punch mark is about the __________ of the drill bit to be used.
width of the chisel edge
Avoid using a pilot drill bit that is too large because it would cause the corners and cutting lips of the final drill bit to be ___________.
dulled, burned, or chipped
A ________ is a wise investment. Properly adjusted, it can prevent excessive drill penetration that might damage underlying structure or injure personnel and prevent the drill chuck from marring the surface.
_________ can be made from tubing, fiber rod, or hard rubber.
spring drill stop
Actual cutting is done on _____ of the reamer
the end
___1___ are used to smooth and enlarge holes to exact size. Hand ____1___ have square end shanks so that they can be turned with a tap wrench or similar handle.
A hole that is to be ___1___ to exact size must be drilled about _____2___ inch under size. A cut that removes more than 0.007 inch places too much load on the reamer and should not be attempted
Reamers
0.003 to 0.007
A ___1__ is used to cut threads on the inside of a hole, while a ____2___ is for cutting external threads on round stock
tap
die
