Safety First
This acronym stands for the protective equipment you must wear in the workshop, including safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves.
This type of drill is battery-powered and offers portability compared to a corded drill. What is it called?
A cut made parallel to the wood grain is called what?
This sander uses a continuous loop of abrasive material and is known for aggressive material removal on large surfaces.
This electrical specification, often written as a number followed by V, indicates the electrical potential supplied to a tool.
You should never operate power tools while in this condition, whether caused by sleep deprivation, alcohol, or some medications. Name the general condition.
The rotating component of a drill that secures and tightens the drill bit is called this.
his stationary workshop saw has a circular blade protruding through a table surface and is used for rip and crosscuts. Name it.
Sandpaper grit numbers in the low range (for example, 36–8036–80) are used for what type of sanding: rough material removal or fine finishing?
This measurement, commonly abbreviated RPM, indicates how fast a tool's shaft or blade is rotating. Spell out the full phrase.
Before using a new power tool for the first time, you must read this document, which includes operating instructions, safety warnings, and maintenance requirements.
This specialized drill provides a percussive action in addition to rotation and is used for drilling into concrete and masonry.
This handheld saw is ideal for cutting curves and irregular shapes and often offers orbital action for faster cuts.
his tool shapes edges and cuts grooves using rotating bits; it's commonly used to create decorative profiles on furniture edges.
After each use, this routine maintenance step helps extend tool life and ensures safe operation: remove debris, dust, and residue, and check for damage. Use a concise verb phrase.
On a circular saw this retractable device covers the blade when not cutting and moves out of the way during a cut to protect the operator. Name it.
A pneumatic nailer commonly used for heavy framing drives large nails quickly; what is this type of nailer called?
To make precise angled cuts on a table saw you use this guide (commonly used for 45° cuts).
This sander type combines rotation and orbital motion to reduce swirl marks, making it well-suited to finishing work.
This measurement describes the rotational twisting force a motor or tool can deliver; it's important for tasks like driving large screws or drilling big holes. Name it.
On a table saw, this accessory keeps your hands away from the blade when making narrow cuts and is considered essential for safe operation. Name it.
Many pneumatic nailers include this safety mechanism that prevents firing unless the nosepiece is pressed against the work surface. Name the mechanism.
This device, mounted behind the blade on some table saws, reduces the risk of kickback by keeping the kerf open and preventing the workpiece from pinching the blade. Give the common name.
Power & Maintenance (Specs & Upkeep)
Advanced workshop machining technology uses computer control to automatically cut or shape materials to precise specifications. Give the standard acronym and its full name.
