MULTIPLE CHOICE (Circle One)
Where should locators contact the part:
⦁ Anywhere on the part
⦁ Across from a datum surface
⦁ On a machined surface
⦁ As close to each other as possible
Ans: On a machined surface
Duplicate Locating is also known as:
⦁ Redundant Locating
⦁ Nesting
⦁ The best method of locating any shaped part
⦁ Fool proofing
Ans: Redundant Locating
How much clearance space is between the jig plate bushing and the workpiece :
⦁ 1-2 times the drill diameter
⦁ 1/2 to 1-1/2 times the drill diameter
⦁ 1/4” to 1/2” if it is imperial units
⦁ All of above
Ans: 1/2 to 1-1/2 times the drill diameter
“Fool proofing” is a term used to describe:
⦁ Fooling the operator to load the workpiece incorrectly
⦁ Interchanging a renewable bushing in a liner bushing
⦁ The prevention of a part to be located or loaded incorrectly
⦁ Locating a rectangular part using the 3-2-1 method
Ans: The prevention of a part to be located or loaded incorrectly

The Jig that is best suited for drilling holes in multiple surfaces of a rectangular part:
⦁ Sandwich Jig
⦁ Box Jig
⦁ Milling Jig
⦁ Table Fixture
Ans: Box Jig

/10
Using the following table, provide the bushing part numbers described:
(Example: L – 20 - 8 - 0.1250) your answer should be in this form
Ans: Headless liner , od=20/64, length=8/16 , id=0.1250”
=5/16” =1/2”
=.3125” =0.5”
Bushing Type OD Length ID
S- Slip Renewable In 64ths of an Inch In 16ths of an Inch 3 decimals
F- Fixed Renewable
L- Headless Liner
P- Headless Press Fit
H- Head Type Press

⦁Headless Press Fit, 1/2” Outside Diameter, 1/2” Length, 0.125 Inside Diameter
Answer: P -32-8-.125
P = Headless Press Fit

Od=64/2=32”
L=16/2=8”
Id=0.125”
⦁Slip Renewable, ½ “ Outside Diameter, ½ “ Length, 0.375 Inside Diameter
Answer: S-32-8-.3750
S= Slip Renewable

Od=64/2=32”
L=16/2=8”
Id=0.375”

⦁Headless Liner, 1” Outside Diameter, 1” Length, 0.625 Inside Diameter

Answer:L-64-16-.6250
L= Headless Liner

Od=64/1=1”
L=16/1=16”
Id=0.625” /12
