Wire Clamp Cutter

In the field of media art installations and is often something hanging from the ceiling.
Work plane at something, it would be hung from picture rails standard method.
Therefore, and, it is not just "= gut hanging".

So, we will introduce the wire clamp cutter.
Wire cutter and wire clamp is superior to this one was organized.
In the tool box, so I want to compact Yappari, this winning combination is where the welcome.


How to use

To cut one. Wire

Put the wire cutter on the side, and then cuts through point of the scissors.
※ wire is not cut cleanly and not a special tool.

Through a 2. Caulking Make a three-wheeled.
4 crush the short side.

First crush the short side with the tip of the clamp, and then fixed (temporarily).

5 crush the long side. (1st time)

Clamped in place to fit the size of the caulking, you crush Omoikiri (tightening).

6 crush the long side. (2nd time)

You crush the rest that could not be crushed at once (final blow).

7 completion.

This is not to exit in the other.

Wrench / Spanner

When I was a student, there is no confidence in Imaichi · ratchet wrench in the monkey with a wrench in which one, there was a confusing time felt.
With I'm sure I also feel students today so maybe, or Let's review this time.

This tool is used to tighten or loosen the screw on the hex bolts, etc. either.
It may be a strong perception that "things tighten with a screwdriver" and said screw, how to tighten with a wrench that type of binding force is strong.


Spanner

The most basic type. There are (katakuchi) mono thing is fixed and the diameter of the aperture, that is attached to both ends, and (both openings), which with only one side. Some have combined with the wrench and ratchet wrench. Like any place where it is hardly easy to use mail merge, and some are made to thin.

Wrench

There is no opening, such as spanner, plug in type use like covering from the top of the bolt. Although it is not usually a wrench fit only from the direction 6, in the case of box-end wrench is a little more you have the flexibility handed. However, the space that is overlaid only from the top of the bolt is required.

Monkey wrench

Is the wrench can be used to change the size of the opening. This tool is useful, but how to keep a role of more than one book a wrench, you may also want to become loose or frustrated while working, you can no longer go into reverse.

Hexagonal wrench

Wrench for tightening or enamel, such as a screw cap and screw, or loosen. Some are made of "ball-point type (left photo)" to get the best into the. There have been attached and will also handle other things straight can be used in electric screwdriver or impact driver.

Ratchet wrench

Is a wrench with a ratchet mechanism. Is more expensive than other wrench, but not need to unplug once Ichiichi After inserting is a great advantage. There is also a type of neck to bend as shown in the photograph.

Socket wrench

Is the wrench handle and function with a ratchet mechanism, a combination of sockets that can be exchanged. Are often used in car and motorcycle maintenance, etc. Benefits of the socket wrench is the ability to loosen / tighten the head of the bolt, even if such penetrate as far as it will go like the wheel of the car.

Color box wrench, pipe wrench, chain wrench, etc. There are other people Giarenchi, where orthodox and what 's this.

Vice Grip

But you can buy cheaply in vice grips, such as home centers, is a reliable tool to something when in trouble.
To demonstrate the power of force or missing hands or fingers, can not have hot hands, and when you want two things bonded to a simplified, well come across while working on the case.


How to use

Match the diameter of one.

Than the size of what you want to grab, to adjust the size of the mouth slightly smaller. The size of the mouth, adjust by turning the threaded portion at the tip of the handle.

2 hold.

The grip until you hear and write, "Kachin" In addition to grab what you want.

To 3. Release

When you release the seized material is beyond easy to press the lever on the inside of the handle.

Tips

Into a very strong grip force so, would say if you do not want to damage the material and put a cloth or tape wrapped.

Tips

It is also useful if you get hot like material in the work, such as Thunder.

Pipe Cutter

This tool is for cutting metal pipe material.
Off to clean than a band saw and bow sawing.
You can also cut hard materials such as stainless steel blade only if Torikaere.
Since the only pipe only, the rod is not shut off.
In addition, not suitable for even very thick ones.


Fixed material

For example using the device. If you do not have confidence in the grip except in very severe in the hand will

Added in a cutter according to where you want to cut

Tighten by turning the black part of the pattern

Cut

To cut the pipe and repeat the "tighten-turn". To avoid straining the blade, let Tighten little by little.

Cut

Is a beautiful cross-section than the band saw and bow sawing.

Deburring

Bali can be taken by filing that is attached to the cutter.

Stainless steel blade for normal blade (left) and (left)

If you use off the blade is also stainless steel pipe stainless steel (sold separately). Whereas a normal blade is black, for stainless steel is a dark gray metallic color.

Carpenter's Square

"I Sakin Who!"
And say, what the does not have smell comes drifting suspense the moment. And mine, it is the university.

This is called Sakin, or carpenter's square.
Originally in carpenter tool, you can use if you draw a (marking) mark-rays or other types of material processed into mainly.
Finds it useful to remember how to use it often enough and admire! "I see", this one can do with this.
To use it as a just ruler is a waste, is an excellent tool.


The basic usage

Right angles to verify the accuracy
The material was cut out and use in verifying the accuracy of production right angle.
Draw a line perpendicular
I draw a line perpendicular to the edge of the material surface is one of the common work. Use the hook to the end face of the carpenter's square Katahotori. If the metal material Let's use the marking.
Draw a line parallel
Draw a line parallel case, you can quickly use the carpenter's square.

Advanced Guide

Draw a line of 45 degrees
Put like material protruding from the end face of the corner of the carpenter's square, if Awasere the length of each of the end surface, we can draw a line at an angle of 45 degrees (1:1).
Draw a line 30 degrees, 60 degrees
People might have noticed good intuition and in the case of the left, you can also draw a line at an angle of 60 degrees-30 degrees in the same way (1: √ 3).
Draw a line at any angle
You need to give a complex angle using a trigonometric function. There will also use the site such as the following calculation. Calculation site

Equal to 1.
You can even if you do not divisible by calculation, draw a line equal with high accuracy. At the position of the scale Warikiri easy, place a carpenter's square to mark diagonally.
※ If the photo: for the time being 3 = 0mm - 240mm
Bisecting.
Mark the memory location of 160mm and 80mm.
Equal to 3.
Pull the vertical line through the mark as attached, is divided equally high accuracy 3.

Draw a circle 1. (Only woodworking)
It is not that about the accuracy of the compass, you can also draw a circle with only the carpenter's square. You hit the nail on the distance the diameter of a circle to draw. These nail called the "secret nail" in the terminology tools.
Draw a circle 2. (Wood only)
Semicircle can be drawn against the pencil in the corner of the inside of the carpenter's square, is rotated while secret nail touch the inside of both sides of the two.
Draw a circle 3. (Only wood)
If you can draw a circle just like the other side.

Fantastic Tools & Materials

(There are many be a maniac on the imitator) Introduction of the things I thought, there is a material in a variety of tools and "this guy is! Very useful" and.
Depending on the what, how to use a separate page for detailed from time to time.

If it is found to be updated because new tools and materials, sometimes you Moraere peeps.


Part tool

Saw blade yarn (spiral type)

Cutting of wood, metal market: before and after use ¥ 700 (set of 5)

Normal for the saw blade does not cut yarn only in one direction, when the curve is cut there is a need to turn itself material or jigsaw. Thread of the spiral type saw blade so sharp in all directions against it, you can turn it off without changing the orientation of the blade and material. If you want to cut complex shapes can be very useful.

There are both for electric and manual for.

Marking needle (pencil type)

About ¥ 700 ~ ¥ 1,000: marking work rate applications: (needle exchange: approximately ¥ 500 ~ ¥ 1,000)

Of marking is usually made from steel of this has a pointed, pen-type is a thing to it. Also easy to store, you can also exchange needle like mechanical pencil, marking exactly so you can work fine earlier.

Spiral tap

(¥ 1,000 before and after this one is M3 ~ M5) with screw diameter: Threaded rate processing applications:

You must tap the normal straight "cut, back" to repeat, in the spiral tap do not need that. If you want to use is often shortened to work most of the time, so thankfully there is also less effort.

A familiar person I've heard that some people would turn off the screws at once by using the electric drill, etc., but do not recommend the city.

How to Use Tap the dice here>

Ratchet Monkey

Around ¥ 3,000: Quotes Loosen / tighten the bolt Use:

Those with (※) ratchet wrench features a variable diameter added. Handy so you can respond easily to this one if every bolt. Or for a new product, there is a sense of still a little expensive.

※ The ability to lock either the forward / reverse ratchet function, and vice versa becomes free. Able to tighten or loosen the bolt simply repeat the reciprocating motion.

Center finder

Around ¥ 500: heart rate out of material Application:

Determine the center of the material on hand tools. Equipped with guides to the front and back of 60 ° and 90 °, is a mechanism devoted to draw a line inside the material. If you draw a line position is about three Waridase a different angle.

Vice Cross

Around ¥ 10,000: a fixed exchange rate of material application:

This tool is for advanced users, such as there is a drilling machine to the studio. So you can move the material in the direction of XY using the handle, the positioning device is easier than normal. There are several other devices with respect to, as well as cross-angle device was allowed to complex devices can be rotated 360 ° angle the device surface, the way them.

ABCs of tool purchase

Although I do not even say that about "ABCs" in particular is so basic, to buy at that time the necessary tools · · · ·
However, I think should give indication about where your hand from the various tools in there, or should spend money on and where is attached.

, From where should put your hands not to mention the will from the "frequently used tool." There are also various manufacturing said, because each person is also production style, for which use is really well worth the money to purchase a little over there. I love having a tool that is pleasant as the creator mentality. If you want to share a tool like the school is, especially under these circumstances is "Find" tool time you want to use will not be a fool unexpectedly. There is also a waste of time, it interrupted the rhythm of production glue or painful than anything else. This is not quite a stress.

Alternatively, you might "I want to align as a basic tool." In these cases, you might not know what certainly put a hand from where. A pair of pliers very book even has a brand-name of several thousand yen from 100 yen to buy in, that difference is not known until it is actually used most. I is not that we have a clear answer, it clearly appears in the difference between the price empirically, and some not, "cutlery" first. Nippers, etc., of course, as well as tap and die drill blade, those who have been selling rose one by one than that of the set is good and inexpensive, even sharpness is also beautiful finish. Such as calipers also "measurement tool", if high accuracy is required it's better to use something reasonable price also.

As advice, "Do not ask for the best tool or" would be the last. The important thing is rather, I think I can not go according to how the body's own tool. In that sense I think, is that there is more value than a cheap brand difficult to use, fit comfortably in one's hand. But also those of the average 100 tapered needle nose pliers which you are using now, it can not be cheating because I completely familiar.


Hen material

Titebond (bond woodwork)

Rate of wood adhesion: applications by size (about ¥ 400 ~ ¥ 1,000)

American-made glue. It is suitable for your own speakers and furniture woodwork white bond, whereas commonly used in Japan to be rubber-like texture after drying, so here is completely cured. Is somewhat more expensive, is far from if you choose to use a reliable adhesive bond strength strongly, because the shorter drying time.

Multi Mitchakuron

Around ¥ 1,000: base processing rate of pre-coating applications:

Are compatible with all paint materials as the base material before painting, fixing of paint is also high. You can also take advantage of the color of the material so transparent.

Turnbuckle

Material by size: the tension of the wire rate adjustment applications:

Is essential when you're trying to create tension in the wire and adjust the height and slope work and equipment hanging from the ceiling, was passed. For one screw has left-hand thread, making it the length of the entire mechanism is changed by turning the central part of the consolidation.

Taps & Dies

Tap and die

Tap and die is a tool for cutting screws. Will extend the range of parts made to remember how to use it. To make the screws work tools required because there is this other, let's learn together to like.


Tap

Tap is a tool to make a female thread, similar to the blade of the drill at first glance. If you are working with a hand-cranked, you will need a tap handle. Prior to actually make a screw, you must have a hole under the material.

Make a hole under

The size of the hole below, refer to "drill diameter for the hole" in the table below dimensions. When you do not know look at the nominal dimension is written in the tap itself, ー (screw diameter) (ex. M3 × 2.5mm hole under 0.5 = 3-0.5 =) even Waridaseru (pitch)

Handle, vice, cutting oil (tapping oil)

To handle the tap, fixed in a vice, such as material, to provide a cutting oil

Biting

Hang down into the hole a little below the cutting oil. Addressed to it at a right angle to the hole under the tap, turning two or three times while pressing to Kuitsuka

Threading

Work carefully so as not to tilt the tap handle. (Eliminating the clogging turn off the facet) Do not forget to return it if the tap straight 1/4 turn when rotated 3/4

Back

(Better safe when you remove the handle has some missing) When you are finished threading, is drawn off the tap is rotated horizontally in a manner reverse to remove the screw

Straight tap (right) and spiral tap (left)

If the spiral tap, there is no need to screw off when "positive rotation 3/4, counter-rotating 1/4" round-trip. But somewhat more expensive, or if you want to increase the processing time can save a lot of work.

Dimensions metric thread (M)

For metric thread (M) Nominal dimension Screw diameter (mm) Pitch (mm) Drill diameter for the hole (mm)
M2 × 0.4 M2 0.4 1.6
M2.6 × 0.45 M2.6 0.45 2.2
M3 × 0.5 M3 0.5 2.5

Dice

Dice is a tool to make a male thread, but the shape of a donut-shaped pieces. If you are working with a hand-cranked, you will need to handle dice. Unless such as lathe carved in advance, (→ M3 → dice screw machining rod 3mm) diameter of the screw diameter material will be intact.

To secure the rod

Vice such as a rod fixed to processing

Handle oil and cutting (tapping oil)

Fixed to handle the dice, to provide a cutting oil

Biting

Rods hang down a little to the cutting oil. Directed perpendicular to the rods die, to turn two or three times while pressing Kuitsuka

Threading

Work carefully so as not to tilt handle dice. (Eliminating the clogging turn off the facet) Do not forget to return 1/4 turn when rotated 3/4

Back

(Better safe when you remove the handle has some missing) Once you have threaded, pull a reverse die is rotated horizontally in a manner to remove the screw

Tips!

How a combination of parts was produced by using a tap and die of this M5. Sweet precision in the vertical direction because it was produced in the thumb is understood. To higher precision machining is performed in conjunction with machine tool such as lathe.

Vernier Caliper

Vernier caliper

Caliper is a tool that can be measured with high accuracy and the thickness of the cylindrical rod, the inner diameter of the pipe, and a step. When machining with high accuracy, so supplies can be said, we will explain how to use perspective and scale.


Using the calipers

Measure the outside diameter

Sandwiching the material in the beak of the larger

Measure the inside diameter

Open hole in the beak of the smaller

Measure the depth

Measure on the opposite side of the beak

Measure the difference in level

Slide the head of calipers to measure


View of the scale

Caliper is equipped with a scale on both the body and the slide portion. Where the position of the slide side of "0" is combined with the scale of the body will be the measured value. Because many calipers so that the numerical values ​​of less than or equal to zero comma read further, tick marks and tick value of the slider body is joined to the most straight will be its value. So, there was a little over 21mm of the body is "0" s if the photo of the slider, so the line between "5" and "4" of the slider is the best straight line that combined, measurements will be 21.45mm.

Personally, I love most in the measurement tool. I will moe the sense of reasonable mechanical condition and weight. Anyway, calipers are "Vernier Caliper (vernier caliper)" It is not called in English (like a Vernier Cauda)
