This is also designed to guide you on how to use technical drafting tools and
equipment properly. You are not alone in this journey because the activities are
guided for you to answer at your own pace! I know with your perseverance in
answering the prepared activities is a key for your success in this course.
The lesson is divided into two subtopics, namely:
Subtopic 1 – Hand tools in Technical Drafting.

Drafting.
Greetings my dear students! Welcome to the topic on the use of tools and
equipment. Following is a detailed discussion on the tools and equipment use in
Technical Drafting. This topic is a must for a beginner like you to help familiarize and
use tools and equipment properly to become competent in Technical Drafting.
After going through this module, you are expected to prepare hand tools and
equipment in Technical Drafting. Specifically you are aimed to:
1. list hand tools and equipment based on job requirement;
2. identify appropriate hand tools and equipment;
3. classify hand tools and equipment according to function and task requirement;
4. use hand tools and equipment in Technical Drafting.
What’s In
4
In a technical drafting career producing quality products calls in using the right
tools and equipment. Engineers, architects and draftsman use the right tools and
equipment in technical drafting to create master plans or blueprints as working
guides to complete projects. To draw clean and understandable pictures and
instructions, aspiring drafter like you need to use appropriate tools and equipment for
the quality output.

Activity 1: Guess Me
Directions: Guess the following scrambled letters to create a word which relates to
tools and equipment in Technical Drafting. What can help you in guessing is the
picture provided in each scrambled letters. Write the letter of the correct answer in
your TLE - Technical Drafting Activity notebook.
Now that you have background knowledge about tools and equipment in
technical drafting let us learn more on the next page!

What is It
In the design process drawings are the main way in which information about
an object or product is passed from one individual to another. Even if people do not
speak the same language anyone who understands the “language of drawings” will
be able to interpret the information on the drawings. In this way, familiarization and
proper use of tools and equipment in drafting should take into consideration. To learn
more, take a look on the following comical strip below.
TRIANGLE
7
It is an inverted V-shaped
instrument that is used in
drawing arcs and circles. It is
use in a similar way to a
divider. This drawing
instrument can be used for
both pencilling and inking.
COMPASS
This is 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.
DIVIDER
It is a semi-circular
instrument divided into 180
equal parts, each of which is
called a degree. It is used to
determine the graduations of
the degrees when measuring
arcs, angles and circles.
PROTRACTOR
R This is a tool 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.
SCALE
8
It is a drawing instrument
used when making
horizontal lines. It is also
used for guiding triangles
when drawing vertical lines.
T-SQUARE It is made of wood, plastic
or the combination of both.
Pencils should be
sharpened whenever they
show sign of dullness.
Various types and designs
are available in the store
for use.
PENCIL SHARPENER
It is to remove
unwanted lines or
sketches in a
drawing.
ERASER
9
The template has different shapes,
holes and designs. The shape
serves as a pattern in projecting
accurate drawing of circles and
other shapes or drawing.
TEMPLATE
It is consist of templates,
which are excellent tools for
drawing irregular curved lines
that are not part of a circle or
ellipse.
FRENCH CURVE
DRAFTING TAPE
10
It is attached by cleats and
pulleys to a particular
drawing surface. It allows
the drafter to draw long
horizontal lines and is also
serves as a base for the
placement of triangles and
PARALLEL BAR other instruments for a
precise drawing.

Congratulations! Now that you already familiar on the various hand tools and
equipment in drafting let us examine on how it functions. Meet Siri and Alexa. They
will help us discuss on how the following tools and equipment function.
13
Drawing Boards
The left edge and right edge of a drawing
board has a true straight edge.
For right-handed people, the left-hand
edge of the board is called the working
edge because the T-square head slides
against it.
For left-handed people, the right-hand
edge of the board is called the working
edge because the T-square head slides
against it.
T-Squares
The T-square is made of a long strip called
the blade, fastened at right angles to a
shorter piece called the head.
14
Note: Do not use the T-square on an
uneven or rough surface and never
cut paper along its working edge.
15
Drawing a Horizontal Line
Materials : Drawing paper
Drafting tape
Instrument: T-square
Triangles (30 deg.x60 deg. and 45
deg.x45 deg.)
Equipment: Drawing Table
Procedure :
1. Press the head of the T-square
against the working edge of the
drawing table and lean the pencil to
the desired direction of the line
inclined at more or less 60 degrees
with the drawing table.
2. Maintain the position of the pencil
while you glide lightly on the blade Note : Reverse the step if you
of the T-square. are left-handed.
3. Draw the line from left to right
rotating occasionally to produce
uniform line weights.
16
Using a Compass
1. Set off the required radius on one of the center
lines.
2. Place the needle point at the exact intersection
of the center lines.
3. Adjust the compass to the required radius.
4. Lean the compass in the direction that you are
going to draw the circle. Draw the circle in a
clockwise direction while rotating the handle
between the thumb and forefinger.

What I Have Learned
There are variety of hand tools and equipment use in drafting that guides
architects, engineers and draftsmen in making master plans or blueprints to
complete the project.
These are the following:
Triangle - is a three-sided ruler, which typically has two equal sides meeting at
a 90 degree angles 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.
Compass -is an inverted V-shaped instrument that is used in drawing arcs
and circles. It is use in a similar way to a divider.
Divider - is 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.
Protractor - is used to determine graduations of the degrees when measuring
arcs, angles and circles.
Scale –is to reproduce the measurements of an object in full size, reduced
size, and enlarged size as its main function.
Erasing Shield - is a useful tool to protect the rest of the drawing when
clearing up smudges, unnecessary pencil lines and other erasures.
T-square - is a drawing instrument used when making horizontal lines. It is
also used for guiding triangles when drawing vertical lines.
Drawing Pencil - is used to project lines or sketch drawings.
Hard pencils are used where extreme accuracy is required specially 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.
Templates - serves as a pattern in projecting accurate drawing of circles and
other shapes or drawing.
19
French curve - is consist of templates, which are excellent tools for drawing
irregular curved lines that are not part of a circle or ellipse.
Drafting tape - is used to fasten the paper on the drawing board.
Drawing board - is made of dry wood with a smooth surface and corners at
right angles. It is large flat wood where the paper is fastened with drafting
tape.
Parallel board - allows the drafter to draw long horizontal lines and is also
serves as a base for the placement of triangles and other instruments for a
precise drawing.
Drawing Paper -Hard and soft surface drawing papers are highly
recommended to be used. This type does not groove easily when pressure is
applied to the pencil. Oslo paper is commonly used but bond paper is also
recommended.
