Set square, or triangle A set square is used in technical drawing, providing a straightedge at a right angle or another particular planar angle to a baseline. They are commonly made from clear plastic. The most common set squares are 45° squares, (one 90° corner and two 45° corners) and 60/30 triangles (a 90°, a 60° and a 30° corner).
[1] [2] Other names for the tool include adjustable square, combo square, and sliding square. The most common head is the standard head, which is used as a square for marking and testing 90° and 45° angles. [3] The other common types of head are the protractor head, and the centre finder head. [4]
Similar to the Geodreieck, a number of other protractor triangle types exist for navigation purposes. Various designs are named navigation (protractor) triangle, nautical navigational triangle, nautical set square, Portland (navigational) triangle or Portland protractor triangle, Kent-type triangle, Inoue-type A/B nautical triangle or plotting triangle, course triangle, yachtsmen triangle, and ...
Drafting board with a T-square and triangle A T-square is a technical drawing instrument used by draftsmen primarily as a guide for drawing horizontal lines on a drafting table . The instrument is named after its resemblance to the letter T, with a long shaft called the "blade" and a short shaft called the "stock" or "head".
The [main] field of the drawing, as opposed to other areas of it, such as the parts list , general notes (G/N), flagnotes , title block , rev block , bill of materials (B/M or BoM or BOM), or list of materials . Rationales for drawing changes that are noted in the rev block often use these abbreviations for brevity (e.g., "DIM 14.00 was 12.50 ...
The drawing head of a track-type drafting machine slides on bearings in a vertical rail, which in turn is moved along a horizontal, top-mounted rail. Both apparatus types have an adjustable drawing-head with rules attached to a protractor scale so that the angle of the rules may be adjusted. [6]: 35–36
T bevel with protractor and dividers In use. A sliding T bevel, also known as a bevel gauge or false square [1] is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. . Different from the square, which is fixed and can only set a 90° angle, the sliding T bevel can set any angle and transfer it on anoth
An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing.
