    Basic Layout UNIT 10 BASIC LAYOUT OPERATIONS Operations Structure 10.1 Introduction Objectives 10.2 Preparing Surface for Layout 10.3 To Layout Parallel Lines to an Edge 10.4 To Layout Lines at Right Angles 10.5 To Layout Horizontal Lines Using a Surface Gauge 10.6 Laying Out Centre Holes 10.7 To Check the Accuracy of the Centre Layout 10.7.1 Divider Method 10.7.2 Lathe Centre Method 10.8 Summary 10.9 Key Words 10.1 INTRODUCTION The preparation of the work surface and laying out straight lines are the primary operations performed in order to make a layout. Since the accuracy of the finished workpiece depends upon the accuracy of the layout, proper care should be taken during the process. Combination tools are used where the accuracy is not important. Square head is used to lay out horizontal and parallel straight lines. The bevel protractor is used for laying out angles while the centre head is used to layout the centre of round and square workpiece. Objectives After studying this unit, you should be able to • know how to prepare the work surface for layout, • layout straight lines using : ¾ the scriber and combination square ¾ the surface gauge and surface plate ¾ the vernier height gauge and surface plate • locate centre holes by : ¾ hermaphrodite calipers ¾ centre head ¾ surface gauge. 10.2 PREPARING SURFACE FOR LAYOUT Layout lines must be visually plain. Therefore, the surface of the work is coated with a layout material so that scribed lines are seen easily. The surface must be clean and free from dust, grease, surface scale, oil, etc., otherwise layout material will not stick to it.

A drilling machine comes in many shapes and into or through metal, wood, or other materials (Figure 4-1). sizes, from small hand-held power drills to bench mounted Drilling machines use a drilling tool that has cutting edges at and finally floor-mounted models. They can perform its point. This cutting tool is held in the drill press by a chuck operations other than drilling, such as countersinking, or Morse taper and is rotated and fed into the work at variable counterboring, reaming, and tapping large or small holes. speeds. Drilling machines may be used to perform other Because the drilling machines can perform all of these operations. They can perform countersinking, boring, operations, this chapter will also cover the types of drill bits, counterboring, spot facing, reaming, and tapping (Figure 4-2). took, and shop formulas for setting up each operation.

In this unit, you will be making bigger things than before. Therefore, you may desire a steel tape rule or a folding rule. Both are available in similar price ranges. For your use, consider the lower cost range and either the steel tape rule or folding rule as suggested by your leader. Attention Awl Users The steel tape rule is available in many lengths: 6, An awl is sharp-pointed like an ice pick. It is used 8, 10, and 12-foot lengths. The 6-foot length probably is for marking lines or piercing small holes in wood. Because of its sharpness, it must be handled adequate for your use. carefully at all times so it won’t pierce your skin. Folding rules are available with either standard inside reading or outside reading. The numbers on the inside-reading rule begin on the inside face.
