their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the TLE - Technical Drafting 7/8 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)

Module on Use of Hand Tools and Equipment!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner

What is It

DRAFTING MATERIALS AND TOOLS, ITS USES/FUNCTIONS

There are a great variety of drafting materials and tools used in mechanical drawing.
The drafting materials and tools discussed in this Module include most of the basic
ones but sufficient enough for your initial understanding about technical drawing.

9
`

PICTURES/ILLUSTRATIONS MATERIALS, DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION

Drawing paper

Various types of drawing papers are available for

use but hard and soft surface drawing papers
are highly recommended to be the best. This
type does not groove easily when pressure is
applied to the pencil. Oslo paper is commonly
used but bond paper is also recommended.

Masking tape

This is used for fastening the drawing paper on

the drawing table or drawing board because it
does not damage the board and it will not
damage the paper if it is removed by pulling it
off.

Pencil sharpener

Pencils should be sharpened whenever they

show sign of dullness. Various types and
designs are available in the store for use.

Eraser

This is used to clean the dirt of the drawing. A

soft eraser is advantageous in removing
smudges and pencil marks, whereas, a harder
eraser is useful for making changes and
correcting errors in the drawing.

10
`

Drawing pencil

This is one of the most important tools in

drawing. It comes in various grades. The grade
of pencil to be used depends on the quality of
paper to be used. You have to take into
consideration also the type of line work
required.

Types of Drawing Pencil

Hard pencils – are used where extreme

accuracy is required especially working on
graphs, diagrams and charts.

Medium pencils – are used for general purpose

work in drawing.

Soft pencils – are too soft to be used in

mechanical drafting. They are very useful for art
work of various kinds.

MEASURING TOOLS

PICTURES/ILLUSTRATIONS MATERIALS AND TOOLS DESCRIPTION

T-Square

It is a drawing instrument used when making

horizontal lines. It is also used for guiding
triangles when drawing vertical lines. It is made
of wood, plastic or the combination of
both.There are three (3) types of Tsquare,
namely:

11
`

1. Fixed Head. The head is

fastened to the blade. It is used
for ordinary work.

2. Movable Head or Adjustable

Head. It has one fixed and one
adjustable head and used only
for occasional drawing.

3. Detachable Head or
Removable Head. It isdesigned
for comfort when carrying
the T-square.

Triangle

It is a three-sided ruler, which typically

has two equal sides meeting at a 90
degree angle and to a third side at 45,
30, including 60 degree angles. It is
usually made of plastic and comes in
different sizes. If in use, the base of the
triangle must rest on the blade of the
T-square. Drawing a line always starts
from the point near the base going
upward. Commonly used triangles are:

a. 30 degrees X 60 degrees
b. 45 degrees X 45 degrees

Compass

This drawing instrument is used when

drawing arcs and circles. It is used in a
similar way to a divider. It is composed
of one with the pen leg and the needle
point leg being held together with a
handle. This drawing instrument can
be used for both penciling and inking.

12
`

Divider

This is a drawing instrument used when

transferring measurements, dividing
lines and arcs into the desired number
of equal parts. It can easily transfer
accurate measurements by adjusting
the divider points. Constant correct
practice is necessary before doing an
actual work for a quick and easy control
when use.

Ruler

A ruler, sometimes called a rule or line

gauge, is a device used technical
drawing, to measure distances or draw
straight lines. This drafting tool is used
when drawing vertical lines.

Protractor

It is a semi-circular instrument divided

into 180 equal parts, each of which is
called a degree. It is used to determine
gradations of the degrees when
measuring arcs, angles and circles.
High quality protractor is usually made
of plastic.

What’s More

Activity 2: Direction: There are twelve (12) different drafting materials and tools
and drawing instruments that can be found in the puzzle. Identify at least ten (10)
of them. Encircle the word/words vertically, horizontally, backward, upward or
downward. Use the given activity sheet for your answer.
