I. REVIEW QUESTIONS

1. How can a drafter indicate the exact specifications required for a part?
A draftsperson uses engineering drawing as a means of communication to indicate the
exact specifications of each individual part to the machinist the physical requirements of
a part through drawing which are made of a variety of lines, which represents surfaces,
edges, and contours of a workpiece. By adding symbols, dimension lines and sizes, and
word notes.

2. What is the purpose of:

a.) An assembly?
To show and describe how these parts are put together, how do they fit, how are
these components are connected and also for the machinist to easily
understand what his making.

b.) A detailed drawing?

It provides the complete description of the drawing these includes the complete
and precise measurement of each dimension of each part. How it is shaped and
manufactured. It should show the overall design and should be understood
easily understood by the machinist.

3. What is the purpose of an orthographic view?

It’s purpose is to show the three side views which are the front view, top view, and right –
side view. It enables the draftsperson to describe a part so completely that the machinist
know exactly what is required.

4. Why are section views shown?

So that those complicated interior forms can be properly represented to the machinist
which is obtained by making an imaginary cut through an object. This imaginary cut can
be made in a straight line in any direction to best expose the interior contour or form of a
part.
5. What lines are used to show:
a.) The form of a part?
Object lines
b.) The center of holes, objects, or sections?
Center lines
c.) The exposed surfaces of where a section is cut?
Cross section lines
6. Define:
a.) Limits
These are the largest and smallest permissible dimensions of a part (the maximum
and minimum dimensions).
b.) Tolerance
The permissible variation of the size of a part. The basic dimension plus or minus
the variation allowed is given on a drawing.

c.) Allowance
The international difference in the sizes of mating parts, such as the diameter of a
shaft and the size of the hole.

7. What is half-scale indicated on an engineering drawing?

It means that the sizes drawn are one – half the actual size of the part.

8. Define each part of the surface-finish symbol

“Surface roughness” is a measure of finely spaced surface irregularities. Surface
roughness is usually what machinists refer to when talking about “surface finish.”
When talking about all three characteristics, they may use the term “Surface Texture”
more properly.

“Waviness”. Surface Roughness speaks to fine detail imperfections, but there may also
be much coarser irregularities. For example, a surface may be warped or deflected
from the ideal.

“=” Parallel to the boundary line of the surface indicated by the symbol

“X” Angular in both directions on the surface

“M” Multidirectional

“C” Approximately circular to the center of the surface

“R” Approximately radial to the center of the surface

9. What do the following abbreviations mean?

a.) CBORE - Counterbore
b.) HDN - Harden
c.) mm - Millimeter
d.) THD - Thread or threads
e.) TIR - Total indicated runout
