Here we go again! The Measurement/Clamping and Safety issue.
The previous edition is here for your convenience.
Tape Measure
A convenient way to measure accurately. Tapes are designed to hook onto material if needed and are used for measuring:
- Material sizes
- Gap sizes
- Height sizes
- Diagnoals
- Whatever else you want to measure
Square
(Try) Squares are used to draw lines at 90° and 45°. They can also measure for accurate marking of nail holes, drill holes, etc.
Clamps
Clamps are used to hold materials together for gluing, holding or securing purposes. The different types of common clamps are:
G-Clamps
Shaped like a G, these clamps are very strong and sturdy but can be slow to use. They are best used for:
- Securing material to machinery (like a drill press)
Quick Grips
These clamps are fast to use but can loosen over time. They are best used for:
- Holding material you are working on to a bench
Sash Clamps
The largest clamps of the three, they are strong and are primarily made from steel. They are best used for:
- Gluing edges together to form panels
Safety Glasses
Made from high impact plastic, these glasses are to protect your eyes from flying debris.
Ear Protection
Ear muffs or ear plugs, these reduce the impact of constant loud noise on your future hearing.
Apron
Keeping you clean as well as your clothes tucked and out of the way.
Dustpan and Brush
Cleaning equipment is a tool too!
A tools for cleanliness!
