  2. Sliding T bevel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_T_bevel

    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 another piece. The bevel gauge is composed of two elements connected with a thumbscrew or wing nut, which allows the blade to pivot and be locked at any angle. The handle is usually made of wood or plastic and the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainsaw_safety_features

    Best safety requires that the chain is properly sharpened. One key sharpening parameter is the depth gauge setting. The depth gauge is the small steel protuberance in front of each cutting tooth. The difference in height between the leading cutting edge and the depth gauge determines the thickness of the wood chip taken by the cutter.

  4. Center gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_gauge

    In the image, the gauge on the left is called a fishtail gauge or center gauge, and the one on the right is another style of center gauge. [ 2 ] These gauges are most commonly used when hand-grinding threading tool bits on a bench grinder , although they may be used with tool and cutter grinders .

  5. Detent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detent

    The angle of the backside of the notch is severe (usually 90 degrees or greater to the end of the lever) so that the lever cannot be pushed up or out of the notch if wheel attempts to turn in the opposite direction. The lever is jammed between the back of the notch and its pivot point, stopping movement in that direction against any force that ...

  6. Latch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latch

    A gravity knife relies on a latch to hold the folding blade in an open position once released. A butterfly knife uses a single latch to hold the folding blade both open and closed, depending on the position of the handles; by rotating 180 degrees the same latch can be used in either configuration. Butterfly knife latches have numerous ...

  7. Gauge block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_block

    Gauge blocks (also known as gage blocks, Johansson gauges, slip gauges, or Jo blocks) are a system for producing precision lengths. The individual gauge block is a metal or ceramic block that has been precision ground and lapped to a specific thickness. Gauge blocks come in sets of blocks with a range of standard lengths.

  8. Rudder angle indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudder_angle_indicator

    A rudder angle indicator is a device used to indicate the present position of the rudder blade, usually fitted near the Ship's wheel on the bridge and in the engine control room. [1] Rudder angle indicator of the MS Nordstjernen (1956) Rudder angle indicator

  9. Aircraft engine controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_controls

    The increased pitch (blade angle of attack) increases the load on the engine and therefore slows it down, and vice versa. However, the actual propeller speed remains stable only if operational conditions (e.g., airspeed) do not change, otherwise the pilot has to constantly adjust the pitch to maintain the desired propeller speed.
