Question

Which one machine/tool is not used in making holes in wood?
A. Ordinary drill
B. Hand drill
C. Pincer
D. Twist bit

Answer 1

Hint: A drill, sometimes known as a drilling machine, is a tool used to make round holes or drive screws. It has a chuck that secures a bit, either a drill or a driver, depending on the use. A hammer function is available on several powered drills. Drills differ in terms of speed, power, and size.

Complete answer:
Before we learn about the correct alternative, let us first learn about all of the types of objects mentioned, and then we will come to a conclusion.
Ordinary drill: A drill, sometimes known as a drilling machine, is a tool used to make round holes or drive screws. It has a chuck that secures a bit, either a drill or a driver, depending on the use. A hammer function is available on several powered drills. Drills differ in terms of speed, power, and size.

Hand drill: A hand drill is a manual tool that translates and amplifies circular crank motion into circular drill chuck action. Many woodworkers still use hand drills, even though power drills have mostly replaced them in most applications.

Pincer: A pincer is a tool that is used to grab and pull something. It's made up of two metal bars that are joined in the middle by a hinge. This isn't for making holes; instead, it's for pulling or holding anything. They're grouped in the shape of scissors, with concave, blunt jaws. The majority of them are composed of steel.

Twist bit: The most common type of drill bit is the twist drill bit. It is made up of a cutting point at the end of a cylindrical shaft with helical flutes that operate as an Archimedean screw to raise swarf out of the hole.Hence, we can conclude that pincer is not used in making hole in wood

So, the correct option is C.

Note: By utilising sharp and well-maintained drill bits, drilling at greater speeds, avoiding applying pressure on the drill, and allowing the bit to find its way through the wood, you can drill a hole in wood without splintering. Use another wooden board at the bottom that you allow to drill in to avoid splintering.
