Learning objectives At the end of the lesson,the students will be able to: Enumerate the different measuring tools and equipment Perform measurements using measuring tools and equipment Value the importance of measurement tools and equipment in carpentry.
Introduction This presentation explores the key measuring tools and equipment used in carpentry. It covers types of tools ,.
Types of Tools 01
Hand Tools Hand tools are essential in carpentry, allowing for precision and control. Common hand tools include tape measures, chisels , and handsaws. Each tool serves specific purposes, from measuring angles to cutting wood .
Tape Measure tape measure is a flexible ruler that measures distance and is marked in inches and centimeters .
HAND SAW Hand saws are tools used to cut wood, metal, or other materials .
CHISEL A chisel is a hand tool used to cut, shape, and carve hard materials like wood, stone, and metal.
Power Tools Power tools enhance efficiency and power in carpentry tasks. Examples include drills, circular saws, and routers. They are designed for heavy-duty cutting, drilling, and finishing, making them indispensable in modern carpentry.
CIRCULAR SAW A circular saw is a tool for cutting many materials such as wood, masonry, plastic, or metal and may be hand-held or mounted to a machine. In woodworking the term "circular saw" refers specifically to the hand-held type and the table saw and chop saw are other common forms of circular saws .
IMPACT DRILL Impact drills are known for having a powerful torque that lets them drill through dense materials such as metal or knotted wood. Great projects for an impact driver include: Building a deck or fence. Assembling furniture with large screws
ROUTERS A router is a portable electric tool used in carpentry to cut, shape, and trim wood. It's a versatile power tool that can also be used for plastic, MDF, and some metals.
Specialty Tools Specialty tools cater to specific carpentry needs, such as laser levels, miter saws, and jigsaws. These tools help achieve precision in unique tasks, including intricate cuts and alignments .
LASER LEVELS Laser levels are essential tools in the construction and surveying industries. They project a constant red or green line onto a surface, either horizontally or vertically, serving as visual guides to ensure your work is perfectly straight and level.
MITER SAW A miter saw is a specialized tool that lets you make cuts at a variety of angles. The saw has a blade mounted on a swing arm that pivots left or right to produce angled cuts. You can use a miter saw to quickly make cuts for crown moulding , picture frames, door frames, window casings and more.
JIG SAW Jigsaws are best used for cutting shapes and curves in wood. However, you can also cut metal, laminate, tile and other materials with them.
Conclusions Effective use and maintenance of measuring tools are crucial in carpentry. Understanding types, measurement units, safety practices, and calibration techniques enhances both quality and safety in woodworking projects.
ACTIVITY Direction: In ¼ sheet of paper, Give atleast 1 hand tools, power tools, and specialty tools. Give the names and function of it.
