SECTIONAL VIEWS
Usually only three views are required to fully describe an object. However internal parts shown with
hidden lines can be quite confusing. Sectional views are drawn to alleviate this issue.
Types of section
Web: a longitudinal section through a web is not shown sectioned. However, cross sectional views are
sectioned.

A broken out section shows detail in only a small portion of the object. This section is bordered by an
irregular line.
Removed & revolved sections are used when greater clarity is needed or to show actual cross-sectional
views of the object.

You are required to research the following type of sections:

Offset section:

Aligned section:

1. Figure 2, on one of the enclosed sheets, shows the first-angle orthographic projection details of the parts that make up a machine vice assembly.
In assembly, the movable jaw (2) is fitted to the vice body 1 . The jaw plates (3) are fitted to both the fixed and movable jaws with the
countersunk screws (7) . The screw (4) is fitted into the vice body and the movable jaw, and is secured to the movable jaw by a set screw 6
. The handle (5) is fitted into the head of the screw.

(a) Draw, FULLSIZE, in either first-angle or third-angle orthographic projection, the following
views of the machine vice fully assembled:

(i) A plan. Show ALL hidden detail.

(ii) A FULL sectional front elevation taken on the cutting plane line, B–B.

(b) Show SIX main dimensions including a length, a diameter, a radius and a metric screw
thread specification.

(c) Print the title ‘Machine Vice Assembly’ and the scale used. Show the projection method
used by symbol. (80 marks)

1. Figure 2, on one of the enclosed sheets, shows the first-angle orthographic projection details of the parts that make up a Handle Control
Assembly. In assembly, the handle (2) is mounted onto the body (1) from the right side of the body (Arrow A) and secured with a pivot pin (3)
and split pin (4) which allow the handle to move through the slot at the top of the body from left to right. The handle can then be locked into the
slot at any one position by the M10 bolt (5) and M10 wing nut (6).

(a) Draw, FULLSIZE, in either first-angle or third-angle orthographic projection, the following
views of the assembly when the arm is locked in a vertical position:

(i) A front elevation. Show all hidden details.

(ii) A sectional end elevation on cutting plane ‘YY’.

(b) Show SIX main dimensions including a length, a diameter, a radius and a metric screw
thread specification.

(c) Print the title ‘Handle Control Assembly’ and the scale used. Show the projection method
by symbol.

NOTE: All fillet radii are 3 mm.
