    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true. A mitersaw is a type of saw that is used for making accurate crosscuts and miter cuts in wood. The statement "min 8" of wood to the left of the blade" means that there should be a minimum of 8 inches of wood material on the left side of the blade before making any cuts. This ensures that there is enough support for the wood during the cutting process. The statement "hand 4" from blade" means that the user's hand should be at least 4 inches away from the blade to maintain safety. Finally, "check for square" refers to the need to verify if the cutting angle is at 90 degrees or not.

    Mitersaw; Wood tight to fence

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "Wood tight to fence" is true for a mitersaw. A mitersaw is a power tool used for making accurate crosscuts and angled cuts in wood. When using a mitersaw, it is important to have the wood tightly secured against the fence to ensure stability and precision in the cuts. This prevents the wood from moving or shifting during the cutting process, resulting in clean and accurate cuts. Therefore, the answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Mitersaw; Start blade before starting cut

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Starting the blade before starting the cut is a safety precaution when using a mitersaw. By starting the blade before making the cut, it allows the blade to reach its full speed and stability before coming into contact with the material. This helps to ensure a cleaner and safer cut, reducing the risk of kickback or the blade getting stuck. It also prevents any potential damage to the material or the blade itself. Therefore, it is important to start the blade before starting the cut when using a mitersaw.

    Rate this question:

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "right saw for right cut" implies that a bandsaw is the appropriate tool for making precise and accurate cuts. This suggests that the bandsaw is indeed the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    Bandsaw; use push stick

    • A.

      True

    • B.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "Blade Guard 3/4" above stock" implies that the blade guard of the bandsaw should be positioned 3/4" above the material being cut. This is a safety measure to prevent the blade from contacting the stock and causing kickback or other accidents. Therefore, the correct answer is true, indicating that the statement is accurate.

    Rate this question:

  • 34.
