QUARTER 3- WEEK 1

TECHNICAL DRAFTING
1. List hand tools and materials based on job
requirement.
2. Classify hand tools and materials according to
function and task requirement.
3. Draw different tools and materials used in
technical drafting
Unlike other subjects, objectives of
drawing cannot be obtained without the
presence of drawing instruments.
Each tools and materials have their
own functions and uses in completing a
drawing.
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
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.
Pencils should be
sharpened whenever
they show sign of
dullness. Various types
and designs are
available in the store
for use.
This is used to clean the dirt off
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.
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.
✓ Hard Range pencils – are used where
extreme accuracy is required
especially working on graphs,
diagrams, and charts.
✓ Medium Range pencils – are used for
general purpose work in drawing.
✓ Soft Range pencils – are too soft to be
used in mechanical drafting. They are
very useful for artwork of various kinds
This is a tool generally used when
reproducing a drawing in an
enlarged or reduced form to some
regular proportion
Its main function is to reproduce the
measurements of an object in full
size, reduced size, and enlarged
size.
This tool is made up of
metal with irregular holes.
It is a useful tool to protect
the rest of the drawing
when clearing up smudges,
unnecessary pencil lines and
other erasures

DRAWING INSTRUMENTS
Drawing instruments are used for drawing and
designing purposes. Their quality is very
essential if you want to have good results.
Cheaper drawing tools and instruments do not
only provide poor quality results but also do
not last long. You must observe proper
handling and care if you want them.
It is a drawing instrument
used when making
horizontal lines. It is also
used for guiding triangles
when drawing vertical
lines
There are three (3) types of T- square,
namely:
✓ Fixed Head. The head is fastened to the
blade. It is used for ordinary work.
✓ Movable Head or Adjustable Head. It has
one fixed and one adjustable head and
used only for occasional drawing.
✓ Detachable Head or Removable Head. It is
designed for comfort when carrying the T-
square.
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. 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:
30 degrees X 60 degrees
45 degrees X 45 degrees
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 pencilling and inking.
- 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.
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.
