Power Tools – Flashcards

This is a power drill that get their power from AC wall plug source. The drill is most commonly used to make holes by spinning drill bits into wood, metal, plastic and other materials it also used to drive screws or to cut small holes in lumber, or to prepare a site for a nail or screw.

This is a power drill that get their power from DC battery source and usually contain a rechargeable battery pack that runs the motor. This drill is useful for working in awkward areas or in areas where a power source is hard to find.

This drill has a pounding action that lets you drill into concrete, brick, or tile. The bit rotates and hammers at the same time, allowing you to drill much faster than you could with a regular drill.

This drill is a portable drill mounted that is used for drilling thick metal. When the drill is placed on metal and is turned on, the magnetic base will hold the drill in place for drilling.The drill can also be rotated on the base.

This drill is powered by compressed air from an air hose. They have many of the same parts, controls, and uses as electric drills.

This is a bit used to drill wood and plastics at high speeds or to drill metal at lower speed.

This bit is used on wood and is particularly good for boring any part of a circle.

This bit is also used in wood. The bit size is measured by the spade's diameter, which ranges from 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches.

This bit which has a carbide tip, is used in concrete, stone, slate, and ceramic.

These drill bits can take more of a pounding.

This bit is used for drilling wood and other soft materials, but not for drilling metal. As a rule, the point of a bit should be sharper for softer materials than for harder ones.

All bits are held in the drill by this and they can be either keyed or key-less.

These saws are designed to cut lumber and boards to size for a project.

These saws have very fine blades, which makes them great tools for doing delicate and intricate work, such as cutting out patterns or irregular shapes from wood or thin, soft metals.They are also one of the best tools for cutting circles.

These saws are designed for more heavy duty jobs. You can use longer and tougher blades than the other saws. They can saw through walls or ceilings and create openings for windows, plumbing lines, and more.

This saw is used when it is better to move the saw to the work than to move the work to the saw. It can be used to cut pipe, metal, plastic, wood, and irregularly shaped materals

This is a special saw to operate carpenter sets the angle from a scale marked off in degrees.The cut is made by pulling downward on the handle.

This saw may be needed to cut heavy timbers, posts, and pilings. Both gas and electric models are available,but gasoline powered types are more powerful.

This saw is especially useful in cutting compound miters. It is also a good tool for cutting larger dimension lumber which is difficult to slide across a saw table. The proper saw setup for cutting a large sheet of plywood.

This saw is a basic machines used in cabinetmaking. Carpenters use them to some extent for cutting and fitting moldings and other inside trim work.

This saw can crosscuts, miters, bevels, and makes compound cuts. It crosscuts, miters, bevels, and makes compound cuts on any stock up to 2 x 12

These grinders are used to grind away hard, heavy materials and for grinding surfaces, such as pipe, plates, or welds.

These smaller grinders are used to smooth the inside of materials such as pipe.

This grinder uses small attachments, also called points, to smooth and polish intricate metallic work. These shank mounted points attachments, are commonly found in sizes ranging from 1/16 to 1/4 inch.

This sander is used to remove rough areas from large, flat sections of wood: for trimming off excess wood; and for stripping old finishes such as paint and varnish.

This sander can be used circular and back and forth. This sander combines both types of movement into one sander.

This sander is used when an even, smooth surface is desired, such as needed for painting. These sanders are used to have either orbital circular or oscillating back and forth movement.

This grinder is electrically powered stationary grinding machines. They usually have two grinding wheels that are used for grinding, rust removal, and metal buffing.

This nail gun greatly speed up the installation of materials such as wallboard, molding, framing members, and shingles.They are driven by compressed air traveling through air lines connected to an air compressor.

These two in one guns which most of them are air pneumatic powered this is a hand-held machine used to drive heavy metal staples into wood, plastic, or masonry.They speeds up work and allows the carpenter to work in tight places where swinging a hammer might be difficult or impossible.

These guns are used to drive various fasteners into concrete and structural steel.The gun ignites blasting powder to drive fasteners into tough material.The tool may be either direct acting or indirect acting.

This gun looks like a drill, but has a "nose" instead of a chuck. The nose holds an interchangeable 0.25 inches 6 mm shank bit, commonly known as a tip. The most common type of tip is a 1 inch 25 mm #2 phillips.

These guns are a solder-melting tool that has a step-down transformer. This applies a low voltage across the tip. The current passing through the tip produces enough heat to melt solder.

This iron is a tool used to melt solder. This iron's heat produced as current passes through a heating element. The heating element uses a coil with high resistance wire.

This large scale demolition jack is frequently used in construction such as tearing down brick and concrete walls and breaking up concrete or pavement.

These demolition jacks are used for pushing heavy machinery and other heavy objects; for pulling wheels, bearings, gears, and cylinder liners; and for straightening or bending frames.They have two basic parts: the pump and the cylinder.The two parts are joined by a high-pressure hydraulic hose.

This woodworking tool produces finished wood surfaces with speed and accuracy. The motor which operates at a speed of about 20,000 rpm, drives a spiral cutter. The depth of cut is adjusted by raising or lowering the front shoe.

This woodworking machine used to produce a flat surface along a board's length and are commonly used to dress the edges and ends of boards. They may also be used for planing a face, cutting a rabbet, bevel, chamber, or taper.

This is a woodworking tool used to join two pieces of wood together.This is a portable tool for cutting slots in the edges of lumber for wood plate. Trim carpenters use this tool to assemble casing lumber and joining shelves and facings of cabinets built on site

This is a arm on a saw that is a cutting machine consisting of a circular saw mounted on a sliding horizontal arm.

Prevents lumber from "kicking back" when being cut.

Protects the person using the saw from injury and also protects the saw from damage.

This nut is the screw that fits through the top of the lap and secures it to the arbor.

The piece that surrounds the arbor.

This is a small cylindrical fastener that has internal threads and "wings" that allow people to tighten or release it by hand.

This lever, placed just under the saw table surface on the front of the cabinet, locks the angle setting of the blade.

This router bit cuts a 45-degree miter with a tongue and groove. When correctly cut, the parts go together at a perfect 90-degree angle and the interlocking tongues and grooves make for lots of mechanical strength and glue surface area.

This controls position of lumber while it is being cut.

This cuts lumber pieces into very small pieces called "chips."

This cutter head create the grooves running the length of your board.Also, there are no aluminum cutter heads produced for jointer or planers.

This is a tool that separates wood fibers along the grain.

This is the some crosscut saws use special teeth called "rakers" designed to clean out the cut strips of wood from the kerf. Crosscut saws generally have larger teeth than rip saws.

This is a device that holds material tighter to the fence and acts like an extra hand.

This is a machine that planes lumber - making its surface smooth.

This is a shaperit does essentially the same job as the router table, with the main difference being that this shaper is a stationary machine designed for larger volume work while a router is a hand tool for lighter duty work. Routers can also be mounted on a router table, and used as a stationary tool.

This is a drill press also known as a pedestal drill, pillar drill, or bench drill) is a fixed style of drill that may be mounted on a stand or bolted to the floor or workbench. Portable models with a magnetic base grip the steel workpieces they drill.
