Topic 2
Basic Hand/ Workshop/ Measurement Tool and Their Uses

 Marking

out is, essentially;

Drawing on metal so as to provide guide lines

for cutting out templates and blanks.

For marking where sheet metal is to be
folded.
Holes are to be drilled or punched in the
component.
The

line is usually scribed using a sharp

pointed metal tool which leaves a fine,
permanent line.

 Types

of Datum

 Surface

Plate

Used in layout applications.

Provide an accurate reference plane from
which measurements for both layout and
inspection may be made.

 Scribing

block/ surface gauge

A scribing block or surface gauge is used for

marking outlines parallel to a datum surface or

a datum edge.
The scribing point is set to mark a line at a
given height above the base of the instrument.
This line will be marked parallel to the surface
along which the base of the instrument is
moved. When a line parallel to a datum edge is
required, the edge pins are lowered. These pins
are then kept in contact with the datum edge
as the scribing block is moved along the work.

 Scriber
Use to produce fine

lines.
It consists of a handle
with a sharp point.

divider, trammel and compass.

Use to mark a circular shape. It has 2

points sharp edge.

Use to making indentation in the surface

of the metal.

Use to measure

height or length of
any object.

 Hand/

Workshop tool is use for

cutting, shaping, assembly and fixing
of the workpiece.

 Bench

Vise & Clamp

To clamp a workpiece.
Bench vise is attached and fixed to the

worktable.

 Bench

Vise & Clamp

Clamp can be adjusted on the worktable.

There are variety of size and shape (G

clamp, C clamp).

 Ball

peen hammer

Use to chip and cut

work.
Use to round over the
rivet ends.
Use to form hardened
work.
Has a different shape
of head.

 Ball

peen hammer

The application of ball peen hammer.

 Nail

hammer

Use to draw the nails.

It has a claw to pull out nail

heads.

 Mallet
The mallet is quite similar to the

hammer.
Made of wood or rubber.
Use to prevent from leaving a mar on
the workpiece such as sheet metal.

 Chisel
Use to chipping metal when it is struck

by a hammer.
Also use for grooving and shearing.
Has a different shape of cutting edge.

 Chisel
The uses of chisel

 Plier
Use to grasp

workpiece,
gripping, wire
splicing, wire
cutting.

 Screwdrivers
Use to install and remove screw.
It is important to use a correct tip for a

different screw head.

 Wrenches

and Spanner

Use to turn capscrew, bolts and nuts.

Come with a variety of head size.
It has a fix, ring or an adjustable head.

 Hacksaw
Use to cut workpiece.
The coarser the pitch of the teeth, the

greater will be the rate of metal removal,

the quicker the metal will be cut.

 Hacksaw
The properties of hacksaw is as shown.

 Files
Use to put finishing touch on a machined

workpiece, to remove burrs or sharp

edge or as a final fitting operation.

 Files
A file is specified by its length, grade of

cut and shape.

 Files
Correct grip for different file applications.

ns.

 Hand

snip

Used to cut sheet metal.

 Tap

& Dies

Tap is use for cutting internal screw

thread.

 Tap

& Dies

It is use together with tap wrenches

 Tap

& Dies

Dies is used to cut external screw head.

 Hand

reamer

Use to finish a hole to an exact

dimension with a smooth finish.

The hole usually is drilled undersize and
then used reamer to get the exact
dimension and accuracy.
Reamers are also used to remove burrs
from the inside of pipe.
