Test: Measuring & Marking Out Tools

Sample screen shots from the animations are shown below.  

Micrometer: How to read a micrometer. Micrometer: using a micrometer to measure the size of a drill is an accurate alternative to a drill gauge.
Micrometer: measuring using a digital micrometer; design and technology processes Vernier caliper: how to read a vernier caliper.
Combination set: how to use a combination set. Height Gauge: how to use a digital and a vernier height gauge.

 

Measuring, Marking Out & Setting Up Design Exercises

This section, on the full version CD, contains questions about the processes involved in measuring and marking out materials and setting up equipment, including:
  1. Drilling 6mm diameter holes.  
    Use notes and sketches to illustrate a design for a jig that will enable 6 holes to be drilled accurately, spaced equidistantly at 50 mm. radius  

  2. Clamping jig.  
    Use notes and sketches to illustrate a design for a jig that will hold parts of a bicycle frame in their correct relative position for welding and brazing. 

Measuring And Marking Out Technology Exercises

This section, on the full version CD, contains 49 exercises, including two from the part complete table below:
The following exercises require you to write notes and to draw sketches to describe measuring and marking out tools used on metal, wood and plastic materials.

Copy the table below and fill in the boxes. (Useful Tip)

 

Write your description on this side

Draw your illustration this side

Steel Rule: Name the type of steel used to make a steel rule and describe how it is treated to prevented it from rusting and bending easily.

 

Straight edge: Describe what a straight edge is used for and state the material that it is made from.  State why one edge is usually bevelled.
