Metalwork
Across
- 4. A hand tool with a sharp point used to mark lines on metal surfaces for cutting or machining.
- 6. A tool used for welding, cutting, or heating metal by burning a mixture of oxygen and acetylene gases.
- 9. A type of carbon steel that is commonly used in metalworking due to its ductility, malleability, and ease of welding.
- 11. A tool used to cut sheet metal. Also known as tin snips for smaller hand-held versions, or guillotine shears for larger cuts.
- 13. A bench-mounted tool with a rotating abrasive wheel, used to grind, shape, or sharpen metal tools and parts.
- 14. A tool used to bend sheet metal into various angles or shapes with precision.
- 19. A stationary power tool used to drill precise holes in metal. The drill bit is held in a rotating spindle that can be raised or lowered to make holes.
- 21. Software used to create precision drawings or technical illustrations, often used in designing metalworking projects.
- 23. A precision measuring instrument used to measure small distances with high accuracy, often used for checking the thickness of metal sheets or the diameter of rods.
- 24. A type of hammer with a large, often wooden or rubber, head used for shaping metal without leaving marks or dents.
- 25. A power saw with a long, continuous band of toothed metal used for cutting curves or straight lines in metal sheets, rods, or tubes.
Down
- 1. Precision measuring tool used to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object, often used to ensure accurate dimensions in metalworking.
- 2. A machine tool that rotates the metal workpiece on its axis to perform various operations like cutting, sanding, or drilling.
- 3. Vise A heavy-duty clamp attached to a workbench, used to hold metal pieces securely in place while working on them.
- 5. A tool used to install rivets, which are small metal pins that hold pieces of metal together.
- 7. A machine with an abrasive belt, used to sand, smooth, or polish metal surfaces, often providing a finer finish than a standard belt sander.
- 8. A device used to join metal pieces by melting the metal and adding a filler material to form a strong bond.
- 10. A set of tools used to cut threads into holes (tapping) or onto rods (threading) so they can accept bolts or screws.
- 12. A handheld power tool used for grinding, cutting, and polishing metal. It uses a rotating abrasive disc.
- 15. A machine tool used to machine solid materials. The milling cutter rotates to remove material from a workpiece, often to create flat surfaces or complex shapes.
- 16. A lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal that is easy to work with and commonly used in a wide range of metalworking projects.
- 17. A tool with a weighted head, used for striking, shaping, or driving nails or rivets. Different types include ball-peen hammers, which are common in metalworking.
- 18. A versatile clamp used to hold metal pieces together or secure them to a work surface during cutting, welding, or assembly.
- 20. A heavy iron block with a smooth, flat top surface where metal can be hammered, shaped, or bent.
- 22. A hand tool with a rough surface, used to smooth or shape metal by removing small amounts of material.
