Preview Questions Carpenter | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the best technique for cutting "angled cuts" in framing lumber for roof trusses?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Cut the angle by eye and adjust the cut after making the first few cuts

Angled cuts can be done using a jigsaw, as it is easier to adjust during cutting

Use a circular saw with a guide and measure the angle with a framing square to ensure accuracy

It is sufficient to measure only the length of the cut and adjust the angle as needed

Question 2: What does the symbol "N.T.S." (not to scale) on a blueprint typically indicate?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The drawing is not to scale

The dimensions are exaggerated

The drawing is proportioned correctly

The drawing is at a scale of 1:100

Question 3: How does carpentry glue contribute to the stability of wood joints?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It weakens the joint, allowing for easy disassembly

It forms a strong, flexible bond that enhances the joint's strength, preventing movement

It acts as a temporary bonding agent until screws or nails are added

It only provides cosmetic support without increasing joint strength

Question 4: How do you measure and cut "window trim" to ensure it fits precisely around a window frame?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Only measure the height of the window frame, not the width

Window trim is not necessary for precise measurements and can be cut by eye

Cut the window trim based on a rough estimate of the frame dimensions

Measure the dimensions of the window opening, then cut the trim to match those dimensions and fit snugly

Question 5: What should be considered when measuring and cutting "rafters" for roof framing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Measure the span and rise to calculate the correct angle and length for each rafter

Rafters do not require precise cutting, as they are generally standardized

Rafters can be cut to a standard size without measuring the span and rise

Only the total length of the rafters is important; angles are irrelevant

Question 6: When using a "dovetail joint" in woodworking, what is the most important factor for ensuring a strong connection?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The type of glue used is the most important aspect of the joint's strength

Precision in cutting the angles and fitting the pins and tails tightly

The number of pins does not matter, only the overall size of the joint

Dovetail joints should be left slightly loose to allow for wood expansion
