38 Glossary of Terms Term Definition Abrasive Auger bit Belt sander Bevel Edge Block Planes Bridle Joint Butt Joint Cavity Fixings Coping saw Countersink Diamond Stones Dovetail joint Material used for smoothing wood, includes glass paper. Rotating cutting tool used in brace to drill holes. A portable sanding tool having a powerdriven abrasivecoated continuous belt. To cut the edge of a board at an angle. A small plane that can easily be used with one hand. Bridle joints are very similar to the mortise and tenon joint. The difference is in the cut of both the mortise and tenon they extend to the full width of the piece being used for the tenon and the full depth of the section being used for the mortise. Simple joint in which two pieces of wood are placed against each other but held with nails, screws, dowels, glue or other fastenings. Many different types available, used to enable secure fixings when a cavity is present such as stud partitioning walling. A saw with a thin, narrow blade used for cutting round sharp curves. To sink the heads, screws or bolts flush with or slightly below the surface of the timber using a countersinking drill bit. Used to hone the edges of steel tools, a Diamond Stone is a plate sometimes with a plastic or resin base. The plate is coated with diamond grit, an abrasive that will grind metal. Attractive joint used for drawers and in fine furniture with interlocking dovetails and pins. 38

39 Glossary of Terms Term Definition Halving Joint Jack Plane Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) Manufactured board Marking Gauge Oil Stones PPE collective & personal measures Rebate Rip Saw Shakes This is where half of each of the two boards being joined is removed, so that the two boards join together flush with one another. Can be used to form right angles or lengthening joints. A large plane for removing large quantities of material, as in straightening surfaces or reducing thickness. An engineering control system to reduce exposures to airborne contaminants such as dust in the workplace. Commonly called dust extraction. Manufactured Boards are man made boards and can include plywood, MDF (medium density fibre Board), Block Board, Chipboard, Hard Board, OSB (orientated strand board). A tool for scribing a line parallel to an edge, used in marking out. A stone used for sharpening cutting tools, treated with oil to prevent steel particles from clogging the pores of the stone. Collective measures protect more than one person at any one time, e.g. scaffolds, nets, guardrails. Personal control measures rely upon personal protective equipment and only protect the user, e.g. lanyard, hard hat. Rectangular groove or recess in the edge of a board, which holds panel or glass in a door or pictureframe. A saw for cutting lengthways with the grain. Shakes are cracks in the timber which appear due to excessive heat, frost or twisting due to wind or poor nutrient content of the soil during the growth of the tree. Shakes can also be a result of seasoning. Depending upon the shape and the positions shakes can be classified as star shake, cup shake, ring shakes and heart shakes. 39
