31
What is usually used in conjunction with a surface plate? - Humphrey Marsh
A scribing block
32
What does the surface plate do? - Humphrey Marsh
Gives a datum edge which measurements can be made from
33
What can the surface plate be used in conjunction with? Nathan P
Scribing block
34
What two gauges are on the same instrument and contain adjustable metal pins for marking out lines Nathan P
Marking gauge | Mortice gauge
35
The angle of a try square is... Nathan P
90°
36
Face side is the Nathan P
Flattest surface
37
Face edge is... Nathan P
Flattest edge (perpendicular to face side)
38
What are Odd legged calipers used for? Yan K
Marking out a distance from an edge
39
What are calipers used for? Yan K
Measuring internal/external dimensions such as diameters
40
What is the micrometer used for? Yan K
Precise measurement of very small objects. Can measure the depth, length and thickness of whatever object fits
41
What are the uses of the dial gauge? Yan K
Checking flatness of surfaces and parallelism of bars and rods
42
What are dividers used for? Yan K
Scribing circles and also for taking off and transferring dimensions of objects
43
What is a scribing block used for? - Ssnehnil G
Marking on vertically held work.
44
What material are the rulers usually made out of? -Ssnehnil G
Steel
45
What units are used for measuring? -Ssnehnil G
Millimetres(mm)
46
Which is better for marking? Pen, Fine liner, Pencil. -Ssnehnil G
Pencil
47
What can be used in conjunction with a surface plate to vertically hold pieces of work? -Ssnehnil G
Angle Plate
48
What is the best way to mark out wood if the angles of the marking change?
A bevel gauge
49
What is the name for the marking gauge which is screw adjusted?
A combination mortise
50
Where in relation to the grain to we mark with a marking knife and tri square?
Across the grain
51
What is more accurate a micrometer or vernier calipers?
A micrometer
52
How do we make sure our work is secure while we are marking out?
A vice
53
What is a marking knife used for? Torsai K
A marking knife is used in preference to, or with a pencil. This gives other tools like chisels to locate when working.
54
Purpose of a marking gauge. Torsai K
To inscribe a line parallel to an edge
55
Purpose of a mortice gauge. Torsai K
As per the marking gauge but with two adjustable pins to mark out a mortise joint.
56
What are Datum edges? Torsai K
Marked out faces of the flattest surfaces. They should be worked on and free of defects
57
What do you use a surface plate for? Torsai K
The surface is ground to a high degree of accuracy and provides a datum surface against which measurements can be taken.
58
Advantages of digital instruments? Ed H
No human error + less effort
59
Why do we use a marking knife? Ed H
Looks cleaner and is more precise
60
What would we use to scribe a line parallel to an edge? Ed H
A marking gauge
61
What does the symbol for a datum edge look like? Ed H
P
62
What is does a tri-square look like? Ed H
A right angle, it has adapted to its job over the years.
63
Why do we use a try-square Joe K
To look for flat surfaces when marking out datum edges or to find 90 degree angles
64
What do we use instead of a pencil to give chisels something to locate into? Joe K
A Marking knife
65
What is a marking gauge used for? Joe K
It is used to scribe a line parallel to an edge
66
What is the difference between a marking and a mortice gauge? Joe K
A mortice gauge has two adjustable pins
67
Why do we work on a datum edge instead of any edge? Joe K
Because it is usually the side with the least number of defects.
68
Why is it better to tilt the ruler? - Lucas M
It gives us more accurate measurements.
69
What is a marking gauge for? Lucas M
To scribe a line parallel to an edge.

71
What is the face side of the timber? -Oscar Mabon
The flattest surface.
72
What is the face edge? -Oscar Mabon
The flattest surface perpendicular to the face side.
73
A scribing block is used when the work is held which way? -Oscar Mabon
Vertically
74
A scribing block is only used in conjunction with a? -Oscar Mabon
Surface plate
75
Vernier Gauges are? -Oscar Mabon
