Preview Questions Carpenter | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the benefit of using chamfer cuts in woodworking projects?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Chamfer cuts only serve to roughen the wood surface for better grip

Chamfer cuts reduce the strength of the joint by weakening the edges

Chamfer cuts create a clean angled edge, which reduces splintering and enhances aesthetics

Chamfer cuts are used solely for decorative purposes without structural benefits

Question 2: What is the role of a "first-aid kit" on a carpentry job site, according to OSHA regulations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Only the foreman is required to carry a first-aid kit, not the workers

A well-stocked first-aid kit should be available on every job site to treat minor injuries and stabilize workers until professional help arrives

First-aid kits are not necessary unless the site is in a remote location

First-aid kits are only needed on large construction sites with 50+ workers

Question 3: How should you measure and cut a "dovetail joint" to ensure proper alignment and strength?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use a jigsaw to cut dovetails, as it's faster than a hand saw

Dovetail joints do not require precise measurements and can be roughly cut

Carefully measure the angles and lengths of both pins and tails using a caliper, then cut with a dovetail saw

Only measure the length of the joint, as the angles can be adjusted during cutting

Question 4: When creating a "butt joint," what method can be used to strengthen the joint for load-bearing structures?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Butt joints are best glued and nailed for a strong connection

Butt joints do not need reinforcement unless they are in a high-stress area

Reinforce the joint with wood glue and screws or dowels for added strength

Butt joints are inherently strong and do not require reinforcement

Question 5: How do you calculate the correct angle when making a roof rafter cut on a gable roof?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Set the angle on a sliding compound miter saw

Use the roof pitch ratio and convert it to degrees

Use the trigonometric formula for pitch

Measure the angle directly with a protractor

Question 6: How do you measure for the correct height of a countertop in kitchen construction?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Measure from the floor to the desired working height

Measure from the floor to the base of the upper cabinets

Measure from the floor to the top of the cabinet box

Measure from the floor to the underside of the wall cabinets
