Observation

Very few candidates did well in this question.  Majority of them failed to:

  • sketch the exploded pictorial view of a two-tail through dovetail joint correctly;
  • list methods of producing curved shapes;
  • list the types of chisel used in wood turning;
  • state the use of template and go-no-go gauges in mass production;
  • explain the term “trial run” in mass production.

The expected response to question 2 is as given below:

  • Exploded pictorial view of a two-tail through dovetail joint.

(b)v (i)         Methods of Producing Curved Shapes
-           Cutting
-           Steam bending using formers
-           Laminating
-           Kerfing

(ii)        Types of Chisel used in Wood Turning
                                   
   -           square nose chisel
   -           skew chisel
   -           round nose chisel
    -           gouge
   -           spear chisel
   -           parting chisel.

(c) (i)         Use of Template
  -           for checking accuracy of cut shapes
  -           for repetitive production.

          (ii)        Use of go-no-go gauges
-  for checking accuracy of sizes instead of measuring directly on the piece.

  • Explanation of Trial Run

This is a preliminary production process in which parts are produced and assembled to identify and correct problem areas before embarking on mass production of items.
