This will generally have a tolerance, eg a door frame is required to be 900mm wide with a tolerance of +/– 2mm which means it is acceptable if it is made between 898mm and 902mm. It is important then that when either measuring or checking a measurement the rule you are using is accurate and you are using it to obtain the most accurate measurement possible. ]]> 2022-05-12 12:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181161498 seanmcdonald4 https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181167571  TOOLS THAT MARK ANGLES The most common angle required to be drawn is a right angle. Another angle frequently required is 45°, most commonly required for mitre joints. Occasionally other non-standard angles are required and we need to be able to accurately mark these as well. ]]> 2022-05-12 12:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181167571 seanmcdonald4 https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181176725  GAUGES Often found to be the hardest tool to use early in training, gauges are used to mark out accurate lines parallel to the edge of a piece of timber. If not used correctly the gauge pin will follow the direction of the grain rather than run parallel to the edge of the timber. Most joints are marked out using a gauge]]> 2022-05-12 12:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181176725 seanmcdonald4 https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181182441  SLIDING BEVELS The sliding bevel is constructed of a hardwood stock, a sliding blade and a locking screw. This tool is used to obtain and test any angle including 45 or 90°. ]]> 2022-05-12 12:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181182441 seanmcdonald4 https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181189353  STEEL RULES Steel rules are available in lengths from 150mm–2000mm. The short ones are very useful for fine accurate measurements and setting up gauges or specialist planes such as plough and rebate planes (discussed later in this chapter). The longer rules are heavy and this can be used to your advantage when setting out on paper or manufactured boards. They can also be used as a straight edge when drawing lines. When buying a rule choose a satin chrome finish: although more expensive they are much easier to read and are rust protected. Ordinary steel rules should be lightly oiled to prevent rusting in storage ]]> 2022-05-12 12:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181189353 seanmcdonald4 https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181194503  They are available in a variety of lengths between 2–8m long. As the length of the tape increases so does the width of the tape to ensure stability over distance. The tape can be pulled out and locked at a specific position, then retracted when not in use for easy storage. They also have a belt clip for temporary storage in use. The end of the tape has an adjustable hook (which allows for the thickness of the hook end) which ensures an accurate reading whether internal or external measurements are taken. ]]> 2022-05-12 12:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181194503 seanmcdonald4 https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181200299 2022-05-12 12:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181200299 seanmcdonald4 https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181210736 A laser level is a device that projects the laser line (a focused beam of light) in the required direction. You can accurately align your work to this line. The laser level is mostly used in construction, surveying, grading, framing, flooring, and other indoor and outdoor works. This device is suitable for almost all tasks requiring accuracy in putting, hanging, or attaching an object.]]> 2022-05-12 13:04:17 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181210736 seanmcdonald4 https://padlet.com/seanmcdonald4/6hh0hyik8eg1inbd/wish/2181214297 A carpenter's pencil leaves a thick,easy-to-see line, good for labelingparts.
