⦁Fixtures can only be used for machining T F
⦁The 3-2-1 principle of locating restricts all 12 degrees of freedom T F
⦁A jig should be clamped to the work table for maximum strength T F
⦁The feed direction of the cutting tool should be towards the clamp T F
⦁Nesting is a form of locating T F
⦁3 or 4 flute endmills are used for all types of jigs T F
/26
MULTIPLE CHOICE (Circle One)
Where should locators contact the part:
⦁ Anywhere on the part
⦁ Across from a datum surface
⦁ On a machined surface
⦁ As close to each other as possible
Duplicate Locating is also known as:

⦁ Redundant Locating
⦁ Nesting
⦁ The best method of locating any shaped part
⦁ Fool proofing
How much clearance space is between the jig plate bushing and the workpiece :
⦁ 1-2 times the drill diameter
⦁ 1/2 to 1-1/2 times the drill diameter
⦁ 1/4” to 1/2” if it is imperial units
⦁ All of above
“Fool proofing” is a term used to describe:

⦁ Fooling the operator to load the workpiece incorrectly
⦁ Interchanging a renewable bushing in a liner bushing
⦁ The prevention of a part to be located or loaded incorrectly
⦁ Locating a rectangular part using the 3-2-1 method
The Jig that is best suited for drilling holes in multiple surfaces of a rectangular part:
⦁ Sandwich Jig
⦁ Box Jig
⦁ Milling Jig
⦁ Table Fixture
A Tool Designer should:

⦁ Be able to use CAD software or make a sketch
⦁ Have technical math skills such as Trigonometry
⦁ Understand manufacturing methods, tools and processes
⦁ All of the above
Three General Purpose workholders are:

⦁ Liner, Renewable, Press-fit
⦁ Collet, Chuck, Vice
⦁ Drill jig, Milling jig, Drill press
⦁ Table jig, CNC lathe, CNC mill
Three General Tool Body types are:

⦁ Plate, Table, Indexable
⦁ Open, Closed, Box
⦁ Pins, Bushings, Clamps
⦁ Cast, Welded, Built-Up
The 3 principal forms of locating a part are:

⦁ plane, concentric, radial
⦁ x ,y, and z coordinates
⦁ rotational, linear and axial
⦁ pins, v-blocks and clamps
Which of the following hole tolerances best describes a press-fit condition for drill
bushings/dowel pins:
⦁ plus or minus 0.0005”
⦁ minus 0.0005” to minus 0.0008”
⦁ plus 0.002”
⦁ plus or minus 0.008”
Locating and clamping can both be achieved by:
⦁ a vice
⦁ a 4-jaw chuck
⦁ a 3-jaw chuck
⦁ all of the above
The designer should be present when building the work-holder because:
⦁ It avoids any chance of misinterpretation of documents
⦁ The operator can use any assistance necessary
⦁ It speeds up the process
⦁ All of above /24
MATCH the correct letter from the Right Column with the description from the left
⦁ Guides the Reamer ______ (A) Tool Body

⦁ Prevents improper loading of a workpiece ______ (B) Bushing
⦁ Producing parts with consistent accuracy ______ (C) Tool Thrust
⦁ Directed towards the tool body or supports ______(D) Fool-Proofing
⦁ Mounting area for the clamps and locators ______ (E) Repeatability
/10
Using the following table, provide the bushing part numbers described:
(Example: L – 20 - 8 - 0.1250) your answer should be in this form
Bushing Type OD Length ID

S- Slip Renewable In 64ths of an Inch In 16ths of an Inch 3 decimals
F- Fixed Renewable
L- Headless Liner
P- Headless Press Fit
H- Head Type Press
⦁Headless Press Fit, 1/2” Outside Diameter, 1/2” Length, 0.125 Inside Diameter
Answer:
⦁Slip Renewable, ½ “ Outside Diameter, ½ “ Length, 0.375 Inside Diameter
Answer:
⦁Headless Liner, 1” Outside Diameter, 1” Length, 0.625 Inside Diameter

Answer: /12
