1.1 DRAWING INSTRUMENTS AND THEIR USES

Engineering drawing is a language used in engineering field. Drawings are

prepared as per the ideas of the engineers and the work is carried out as per

those drawings by them or other engineers. Thus communication in engineering

field is done by drawing.

To prepare engineering drawings special drawing instruments are required.

The instruments should be of good quality. Engineering personnel should know

how to use, handle and maintain the drawing instruments.

The following drawing equipments and materials are required to prepare

drawings.

i. Drawing Board

ii. Mini-Drafter/T-square

iii. Set squares 45° and 30°-60°

i. Drawing Board

Drawing board is rectangular in shape and is made of strips of well

seasoned soft word or white pine of 25 mm thick and glued edge to edge to

prevent warping. Two battens are fixed at the back by means of screws fitted in the slots to allow seasonal contraction and expansion. One of the

edges of the board is used as working edge, on which

T-square is made to slide. The left hand edge of the board is grooved

throughout its length and perfectly straight ebony edge is fitted inside the

groove. This provides a perfect guide for the movement of T-square. The

top surface of the board should be free from cracks and it should be

absolutely flat. (Refer figure 1.1).

Drawing boards are made in various sizes. Its selection depends upon the size of the drawing paper to be used. For convenience of working, drawing

board is kept tilted about 15° to 20°.

ii. Mini Drafter

Mini drafter is preferred by engineering students since it is a time saving

equipment for drawing work. Drafting machines are used extensively in

commercial drafting rooms because their use leads to 25 to 50 percent saving in time. It serves the purpose of T-square, Set-square, Protractor

and Scales in a single unit. It consists of arms, scale, grooved clamp and

locking knob (G). An aluminum scale blades are accurately set at right

angles to each other. They are graduated in mm and circular portion is in

degrees from 0° to 360°.

The scales can be rotated about the vertical axis of the knob. The locking

knob clamps the scale to the required angle.

Step 11 : To grip-clamp is inserted on the top edge of the board at left hand

side and is tightened just sufficient by the grip screw (k) to prevent slipping. Hard tightening may damage the drafter alignment or

board.

Step 22 : Drawing paper is fixed to the drawing board with the help of

drawing clips or pins, keeping drawing paper in line, with the

horizontal scale.

Step 33 : During operation, two blades are always remain parallel to the set

position if they are moved anywhere on the sheet.

Step 44 : For drawing lines at an angle, set required degree with reference

mark. (Refer figure 1.2)

T-square

T-square is made of two parts

a. The blade and,

b. The stock or Head.

Both are fastened together rigidly at right angles to each other. T-square is

made out of hard quality wood, plastic or acralic material. The stock is

placed adjoining the working edge of the board and is made to slide on it,

as and when required. The blade lies on the surface of the board. Its

working edge is made beveled. The length of the blade is selected as per

the size of the drawing board. Refer figure 1.3.

STOCK BLADE

Figure 1.3

T-square is used to draw horizontal lines

The stock of the T-square is held firmly by left hand against the working

edge of the board and line is drawn from left to right. The pencil should be

used slightly inclined in the direction of line (to the right) while the pencil point should be kept close to the working edge of the blade.

(Refer figure 1.4)

Figure 1.4

1-6 Engineering Graphics

The working edge of the T-square is also used as a base for set-squares to

draw vertical, inclined or mutually parallel lines. T-square should never be

used on edge other than working edge of the board. It should always be

kept on the board, even when not in use.

iii. Set Squares: 45°°°° and 30°°°°-60°°°°

Now-a-days set squares are made of transparent colourless plastic or

celluloid material. There are two forms of set squares. They are triangular in

shape, having one right angled corner in each. The length of the set-square

is given by the longer edge except hypotenuse. 45° set squares are available

in 150,200,250 and 300 mm. lengths while the lengths of 30°-60° set squares

are 200,250,320, and 420 mm, Thickness of set squares varies from 1.5 to 2.5

mm. They are made with straight edge for pencil work and with beveled

edge for ink work. Now a days set squares are available along with

protractor or French curve carved within it. Adjustable set squares are also

available in the market. The 30°-60° set square of 250 mm length and 45° set

squares of 200 mm length are convenient sizes for use in schools and

colleges. (Refer figure 1.5)

Set squares are used for drawing straight lines except horizontal lines,

which are generally drawn with the T-square. Set squares are used with

T-square to draw lines at various angles with the horizontal. With

combination of T-square and two set squares angles of 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°,

90°, 105°, 120°, 150°, 165° (i.e. multiples of 15°) can be drawn. The above

combination can divide circle into 8, 12, and 24 equal parts without using

protractor. Parallel lines inclined at any angle can be drawn by using two set

squares. Set-squares must be kept clean and their edges should be protected

from getting damaged. Refer 1.6 (a, b, c, d).

Step 11 : To draw the circle, adjust the opening of the legs of the compass to

the required radius.

Step 22 : Hold the compass with thumb and first two fingers of right hand

and place the needle lightly on the centre with the help of left

hand.

Step 33 : Rotate compass about the needle leg in clockwise direction, until

the circle is completed.

Step 44 : The compass should be kept slightly inclined in the direction of

rotation.

Step 55 : Smallest circle should be drawn first while drawing concentric

circles.

Step 66 : One grade lighter lead is used for compass work than usual line

work to have equal darkness of drawing. (Refer figure 1.11)

Figure 1.11

Step 77 : The metal needle is to be inserted slightly inside the paper

(about 1 mm).

Step 88 : It is kept longer than the lead point.

Step 99 : The setting of lead and needle and the shape of lead is shown in

figure 1.12. The flat side of lead is kept facing outward.

Circles more than 150 mm radius is drawn with the aid of lengthening bar.

The length of the pencil leg is increased by fitting the lengthening bar

between the pencil leg and detachable lower part of the pencil leg. It is

necessary to guide the pencil leg with other hand while drawing large

circles. (Refer figure 1.13)
