THE CENTER PUNCH
4. The center punch is ground to about a 60 degree angle to the center lines and is used to mark the location of holes and to make a starting hole for a drill .
![Page 46: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
SCRATCH AWL
5. The scratch awl is made of high carbon steel and a hardwood handle, and is used to scribe lines on metal. Since the metal of the awl protrudes through the handle, it can be tapped with a hammer to make a light center punch.
![Page 47: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
SCRIBER
6. A scriber is a hand tool used in metalworking to mark lines on work pieces, prior to machining.
The scriber is made of high carbon steel in different patterns and shapes, and is sharpened to a needle point.

SPRING DIVIDERS
7. Dividers are used for marking circles, dividing circles, and stepping off equal lengths for spacing of holes.
![Page 49: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
DIVIDERS
The two legs of the dividers are sharpened to needle points; they can be adjusted to varying widths.
The size of dividers is determined by the length from the pivot to the point of the leg.
![Page 50: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
BALL PEEN HAMMER
8. The original function of the hammer was to peen riveted or welded material, which makes it as flexible as the surrounding metal. Today, the ball end of the hammer is used to cut gaskets, expand and shape the free end of copper roves, light rivets, and "set" rivets (which completes the joint).

MEASURING COLD STEEL
Select a rule or tape that is long enough to measure the entire distance at one time.
The most suitable rules and tapes are those in which the inches are divided into one or more of the following: 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 , 1/16 , 1/32 , and 1/64 . A 1/10 and 1/12 rule is used for special jobs.

TAPPING COLD METAL
A common metalworking job in agricultural mechanics is the cutting of threads on bolts and nuts. Taps and dies are used for thread cutting.

A TAP
A screw-like tool used to cut inside threads. There are three types of taps.
Taper Tap Plug Tap Bottoming Tap

TAPER TAP
The taper tap, with the first 0 to 10 threads that do not cut full-depth threads, is used alone for tapping a hole that is drilled completely through the metal.
When tapping a blind hole all three taps must be used.
![Page 57: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
PLUG TAP
The plug tap, with five or six partial threads, is used after the taper tap.
It is screwed down to the bottom of the hole.
![Page 58: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
BOTTOMING TAP
The bottoming tap is used after the plug tap to cut full-size threads to the bottom of the hole.
![Page 59: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
HOLE TAPPING PROCEDURE
1. Drill the proper sized hole for tapping.
2. Select the proper taper tap and insert the square end in a tap wrench.
3. Place the item to be tapped in a vise and clamp securely.
4. Grasp the tap wrench with the hand directly over the tap and place the end of the tap in the hole.
![Page 60: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
HOLE TAPPING PROCEDURE
5. Apply downward pressure on the wrench, and turn it clockwise to start the tap. Continue turning the wrench in this manner until
the tap starts to feed itself.
![Page 61: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
HOLE TAPPING PROCEDURE
6. When the tap begins to feed itself, grasp the tap wrench handles with both hands, and continue turning slowly. Apply the same turning power on each handle to
prevent breaking the tap. Apply the proper lubricant to keep the tap cool so that it will cut properly.
![Page 62: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
HOLE TAPPING PROCEDURE
7. After the tap has been properly started, turn it one full turn forward.
Then, back it up one-quarter turn to break and clear away the chips.
This will help to make a smoother thread.
Continue in this manner until the tap reaches the bottom or turns freely in the hole.

HOLE TAPPING PROCEDURE
8. Back the tap out slowly.
9. Thoroughly clean the tap before placing it in the rack.

A DIE Used for cutting outside threads, like those found on
the threads of bolts. There are three common types of dies:
round-split die two-piece die solid die.
![Page 66: U NIT 4: M ETALS AND M ETAL W ORK. O BJECTIVES 4.1 Define terminology 4.2 Discuss safety practices in cold metal work 4.3 Discuss the kinds of metals](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e245503460f94b12855/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
A DIE
The round-split and two-piece dies can be adjusted to vary the depth of cut, but the solid die is not adjustable.

BOLT THREADING PROCEDURE
1. Place the rod in a perpendicular position in a vise and clamp securely.
2. File off any projections on the end of the rod or bolt, slightly tapering it.
3. Select the proper size of die. The tool used for holding and
turning the die is called the die stock.

BOLT THREADING PROCEDURE
4. Place the die squarely on the rod or bolt and apply pressure evenly as the die is turned.
5. Apply oil so that the die will run through it while cutting.

BOLT THREADING PROCEDURE
6. Move the die back and forth so the chips of metal will fall out.
7. Remove the die by turning it counterclockwise after the required number of threads are made.

THERE ARE THREE CLASSIFICATIONS OF THREADS:
National Coarse (NC) Are commonly used on parts of
machinery where there is very little vibration.
National Fine (NF) Fine threads will stand more
vibration than coarse threads before the nut loosens.
National Pipe Thread (NPT).
