City of Good Character

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE
 This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the performance of Technical Drafting tasks.
The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read
them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into three lessons, namely:

● Lesson 1 – Types of hand tools and equipment
● Lesson 2 – Uses of hand tools and equipment for a specific job
● Lesson 3 – Classification hand tools and equipment according to function and
task requirement
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. identify the hand tools and equipment
2. prepare hand tools and equipment
3. classify hand tools and equipment according to function and task requirements.

Find 5 drafting tools and equipment below. Put a checkmark on your answer. ( 5pts)

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE
 Drafting tools improve the consistency and speed of the creation of standard
drawing elements. Success in drafting is largely dependent on the availability and
quality of tools needed. A draftsman cannot produce good work without the available
tools despite his skill.

Jeff Duntemann says that "A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool
improves the way you think." Today's draftsmen need to use the highest quality drafting
tools and materials when working to improve the overall success of drafting projects and
to save a lot of valuable time. Drafting tools and equipment are used for drawing and
designing purposes.

Notes to the Teacher

In this lesson, the learners are expected to follow the
standard procedures in accomplishing forms. They should be able
to check the list of hand tools, drawing instruments, equipment, and
paraphernalia to be requested per job requirement .The teacher
should be able to guide the students in evaluating the condition of
all the requested hand tools, drawing instruments and
paraphernalia for proper operation and safety.

Drafting tools

Drafting tools are instruments in creating artistic sketches, expressing ideas

in the form of drawing, and can be used for measurement and layout of drawing
elements.

Drafting Tools and its uses:

T-square.

A T- shape instrument used in drawing horizontal lines and serves as a

guide when drawing vertical lines using triangles.

Triangles.

A three-sided ruler used to draw lines at a specific angle.

The most popularly used triangles are the 45 degrees and the
30 degree by 60 degrees.

Protractor.

A semi-circular instrument used to measure arcs,

angles, and circles in gradations of degrees.

Divider
An instrument consists of a jointed pair of legs, each with
a sharp point.

Compass

An instrument used to draw arcs and circles, parts of circles. It

is composed of a one-pointed leg and one leg with a pen joined
together with a handle.

French curve
It is used in drawing curves that cannot be drawn using
compasses. It is usually made up of wood, plastic, and
celluloid.

Drafting Materials and its uses:

Pencil

The most important and commonly used drafting tools. It comes in

different grades of hardness. The hard pencil is numbered as F, H,2H, and 9H,
the medium grades are 5B,4B, and HB, the softest grades is 6B.

Drawing paper

The characteristic of highly recommended drawing paper has a

hard and smooth surface which does not “groove” easily when pressure is
applied to the pencil.

Drawing board

It is referred to as a table in which drawing paper may be spread and

fastened for artists to work on. It is also called the “architect’s table”.

Triangular Scale.

It is used to reproduce the measurement of drawing in full

size, reduced size, and enlarged size. It is also called an
architect’s scale.

Eraser

An effective tool in removing smudges and pencil marks in the

drawing.

Drawing ink

It is a finely ground carbon, suspended in natural-synthetic gum

added to render the mixture waterproof, quick to drop, and easy to dry.

Tracing Paper

It is a thin, transparent paper on which inked or penciled

drawing is made for reproduction in the blueprint or white print.

Masking Tapes

These are used to fasten the paper to the drawing board or

table. Masking tape, scotch tape, and other tapes are used.

3
 Watercolor

It consists of pigment and mucilage, a gummy substance

from various plants. It is used to color drawings.

Speedball pens

It comes in different grades and styles from bold to fine.

Each designated for certain styles of lettering. Style A and
B speedball pens are used for square and round gothic letters. Style C is used
for Text and Roman letters, while style D is for rounded Roman letters.

Read and understand carefully each statement. Put a checkmark on the happy face
if the statement is TRUE and sad face if the statement is FALSE.

1. Protractor is an instrument used when making a straight line.

2. Chalk is used to removed smudges and pencil marks.

3. Masking Tape is used for fastening the drawing paper

on the drawing board.
4. Erasing Shield is used to protect the rest of the
drawing when removing unnecessary lines.

5. T-Square is used for drawing horizontal lines.

6. A pencil is the most important and commonly used drafting tools.

7. A divider is an instrument that consists of a jointed pair of legs,

each with a sharp point.

8. Drawing ink is referred to as a table in which drawing a paper

may be spread and fastened for artists to work on.

9. Compass is an instrument used to draw arcs and circles, parts

of circles
10. French curve A three-sided ruler used to draw lines at
a specific angle.
