What’s In

Drafting requires several drawing tools to execute accurate and legible drawings which are
comprehensible or understandable to other draftsmen. This is for the purposes which serve as
when a drawing has to be reproduced, to manufacturers, when it is a blueprint of a product,
and to clients where services have to be rendered.

Drafting is mechanical drawing. This is where tools have to be used in order to draw lines,
curves, and shapes. Since drafting demands accuracy, freehand drawing is unacceptable in
drafting. This is why it is important to acquire tools which will help one to draw and measure.

Let us study the following statements. Which of the following is a job requirement of a
draftsman? Draw a check ( / ) if it is, and cross ( x) if otherwise.

______1. A draftsman has the ability to measure lengths accurately.

______2. A draftsman could draw smooth and straight lines
______3. He/ She has the ability to finish an entire drawing using only a pencil.
______4. He/She can produce legible and neat drawings.
______5. A draftsman can finish a drawing before the given deadline.

No.1 is (/). A draftsman relies on actual measurement unobtainable through visual inspection.
The second statement is (/). What measurement he/she determines, he/she converts it into
lines that gradually become a drawing. No. 3 is (x), since a draftsman requires much more
than a pencil can offer. The fourth statement is (/) since drawings have to be comprehensible
and clean. The last statement is also (/) because a drawing has to be submitted to the next
draftsman or a client on time.

The following characteristics of a draftsman are only attainable through practice and
experience. However, tools serve as extension of a draftsman, and whatever mastery he
acquires, it is only possible with the assistance of his tools. No draftsman can finish a job with
his bare hands.

 What is It

Use of Tools and Equipment

If one desires to produce satisfactory drawings, one should be able to enumerate and
identify the different drafting tools by their appearance and function. Here is the list of Drafting
Tools that one should be familiarized with:

1.Drawing Pencil 9. Protractor

2.Mechanical Pencil 10. Reduction Scale Ruler
3.Technical Pen 11. Drawing Board
4.Eraser 12. Drawing Paper
5.Erasing Shield 13. Compass
6.Triangle 14. Divider
7.Ruler 15. Template
8.T-square 16. French Curve

The next part of the lesson shows the appearance and the function of each
drafting tool

1.Drawing Pencil is made of wood that has a lead center made of graphite. When the pencil
turned dull, it has to be sharpened to maintain the uniformity of lines. The lines produced
by a pencil on paper can be easily erased.

Fig. 1 Drawing Pencil

Below is the Lead Grade or the variations of pencil leads based on their
hardness or softness. Pencil grade marking is engraved at the upper end
of the pencil.

Fig. 2 Lead Grade

Hard- The pencil lines are light so this grade is used when a drawing
demands accuracy

Medium- The pencil grade ranging from 3H to H is used for line works.
The softer F to B is for lettering and arrowheads.

Soft- This grade tends to be easily smudged and it is not suitable

for mechanical drawings. It is best used for shading and artworks.
Manufacturers nowadays offer pencil grades up to 12B.

6
 What is the Drawing Pencil’s function?

Drawing Pencil is used when creating the primary sketch or draft of your
drawing. It is used to draw various line types that can be erased when
mistakes are made.

2. Mechanical Pencil serves the same purpose as ordinary drawing pencil. It is used in
drawing and sketching. The advantage of the former is it has lead refill, enabling it to be
reusable. Mechanical pencil has a spring mechanism, allowing it to control the length of the
lead, eliminating the need to be sharpened. Though more expensive, a mechanical pencil’s
convenience and usability has an advantage over drawing pencils.

Fig. 3 Mechanical Pencil

What is the Mechanical Pencil’s function?

Mechanical Pencil is used the same way as a traditional drawing pencil.

Both are used to draw lines. Pencil is used together with a triangle, ruler,
or t-square to draw straight lines. Curves are drawn with the help of a
french curve.

3. Drawings made of pencil is still an unfinished work especially if it’s a working drawing.
Pencil lines are easily smudged or potentially erased. Therefore, a drawing has to be inked
to last. Technical Pen is a professional grade inking pen. It has a plastic casing that can be
disassembled when it has to be cleaned.

Popular brands such as Rotring and Staedtler are made in Germany. It is available in
varying thickness ranging from .10mm up to 1.00mm. Since the resulting lines are precise,
technical pens are the standard choice of most draftsmen. Technical pens can be refilled
with fresh ink and last as long as maintained properly. Due to its relatively high price, it cannot
be recommended for drafting students. A good brand of sign pen such as Unipin will suffice.

Fig.4 Technical Pen

7
 What is the Technical Pen’s function?

Technical Pen is used to apply ink on a drawing so lines will be permanent

on paper. Technical pen is used with triangles and t square. Use the
triangle’s bevelled edge when inking.

Fig. 5 A Technical Pen is held almost perpendicular to the

surface of the paper

4. Eraser comes in varying level of hardness and is used to erase pencil and ink lines.
Its primary raw material is rubber. A poor quality eraser smudges pencil lines rather than
eliminating them and sometimes leaves dark marks and discoloration on paper so be
aware of its quality when purchasing. A Staedtler Mars Plastic is a good brand of eraser.

Fig. 6 Eraser

What is the Eraser’s function?

Eraser is used to erase pencil lines when mistakes are made or a revision
has to be done on a drawing. For precision, one may use an Erasing
Shield.

8
5. Erasing Shield is a thin, flat metal with different cutouts intended to protect the lines near
the area being erased.

Fig.7 Erasing Shield

What is the Erasering Shield’s function?

Erasing Shield intends to protect the lines near the area being erased. The
different cutout shapes and sizes lets you choose which is appropriate
for your erasing needs.

Fig. 8 Erasing shield is pressed firmly on the paper by one hand, while the
other uses the eraser

6. Triangles are made of transparent plastic so that drawn lines can be seen through them.
Its edge is divided into millimeters or parts of an inch. They are available in two variants :
the 30 x 60 degrees and the 45 x 90 degrees. Rotring and Staedtler are good brands of
triangles.

Fig. 9 A 30 x 60 degrees triangle (left) and a 45 x 45 degrees triangle (right)

9
 What is the Triangles’ function?

Triangles are used to draw vertical and inclined lines usually in standard
angles such as 45, 30, or 60 degrees. Keep in mind that triangles should
be used together with a t-square as a base so the degrees of oblique and
vertical lines drawn will be accurate. They have bevelled edges to avoid
ink bleeding when used with a technical pen.

7. Ruler is a straight edge tool that is made of plastic or metal. The edge of the ruler has
millimeter and/or inch measurement.

Fig. 10 Ruler

What is the Ruler’s function?

Ruler aids in drawing a straight line. However, unlike the combination of

a triangle and a t-square, a ruler could never draw a precise 90 or 180
degree straight lines. For measuring lengths, a ruler will do just fine.

8. T- square is a straight edge tool, usually made of plastic or a combination of wood and
plastic. Its edge is divided into millimeters or parts of an inch. Its blade is fastened to a head
that is placed on the side of a drafting table to maintain a level 180 degrees of the blade.

Fig. 11 The parts of a T- square

What is the T-square’s function?

T-square measures and aids in drawing horizontal lines. Its head is

aligned against the working edge of a board or table and should slide
smoothly in upward and downward motion. When used together with a
triangle, a t- square serves as its base to achieve an accurate 90, 30, or
60 degrees line drawings. See Figure 12.

10
Fig. 12 The working edge of the blade should move up and down along the
side of the board, while the triangle slides back and forth along the blade
of the t-square.

What is the T-square’s function?

When drawing horizontal lines, press the blade firmly so it won’t move
and draw lines with a sideward motion from left to right. See Fig. 13.

Figure 13. The proper method of using a T-square when drawing a horizontal line.

What is the T-square’s function?

When drawing vertical lines, press the blade and the triangle firmly so
they wont move, and draw a line in an upward motion. See Figure 14.

11
 Figure 14. A vertical line is drawn by using a t-square as a base for triangle .

9. Protractor is a curved measuring tool, resembling a half moon and is made of plastic so
drawn lines can be seen through it. A protractor however, is not intended to be used in
drawing straight or curved lines.

Fig. 15 Protractor

What is the Protractor’s function?

A Protractor is used to measure and mark an specific degree unattainable

when using a triangle. Note that it is not designed for drawing or lining

10. Reduction Scale Ruler or sometimes called the triangular scale, is made of plastic with
triangular base and somehow resembling a ruler, but its edges do not have millimeter or
inch markings. Instead, ratios or scales are imprinted or etched. It is available in several
metric scales or ratios such as 1:100, 1:50, 1:25, etc.

Figure 16. Reduction Scale Ruler

12
 What is the Reduction Scale Ruler’s function?

Reduction Scale Ruler is a tool for reducing sizes of a drawing while

maintaining the proportion of the object. Basically, the reduction scale
ruler lets one choose how much the drawing is shrunk. In 1:100 scale,
for example, the drawing is reduced about 100 times. Architectural
drawings relied heavily on this method. It should be pointed out that it is
not designed for pencil or ink linings.

11. Drawing Board is a rectangular piece of wood that has a flat, smooth surface wherein
the drawing paper is attached on it by tapes. The drawing board should be wide enough
to accomodate drawing or tracing papers with a dimension of 30 x 20 inches specially for
professional use. However, smaller drawing boards will suffice if one, like a student, intends
to use legal size bond paper for school work.

Fig. 17 A Drawing Board is inclined for convenience of use.

What is the Drawing Board’s function?

Drawing Board is designed to be used together with a t-square. The left

edge of the drawing board is called the working edge since this is where
the head of the t square slides against. The surface of the drawing board
is tilted for about 30-45 degrees for convenience. The drawing paper is
taped on the surface of the board. See Figure 18.

Fig. 18. The upper edge of the paper should be parallel

with the working edge of the blade.

13
12. Drawing paper draftsmen work with wide drawing papers called tracing papers, a thin,
semi-transparent sheet, since working drawings are complex and include lots of details.
As large as 20 x 30 to 30 x 40 inches of tracing paper is utilized for this kind of drawing.

Fig.19 A Tracing Paper

What is the Drawing Paper’s function?

Drawing Papers, especially tracing papers are used for blueprints.

This is the standard paper for printing CAD (Computer-Aided Design)
Drawings. For drafting students, it is advised to use legal size, 8 ½ x 13
inches, bond paper. Bond papers are relatively smooth which lessen ink
bleeding.

13. Compass is made of metal or plastic, or a combination of both. It has two legs fastened
together by a yoke. One leg has a needle in its end, while the other leg has a lead or
pencil holder. A plastic compass is cheaper, but one made of metal is more durable and
tends to last longer.

Fig. 20 The parts of a Compass.

What is the Compass’ function?

Compass is a tool used to draw circles and arcs. It is operated by

pinching its handle with two or three fingers. Adjust the legs according to
the size of the radius. Determine the centerpoint of the circle you intend
to draw, point the needle on the center, then apply minimal pressure on
the needle. Make a circular motion with your hand and let the lead of the
compass touch the surface of the paper. See Figure 21.

14
 Fig.21. Turn the compass using your fingers, not your entire hand, while
applying minimal pressure on the needle.

14. Divider is similar to compass in its appearance, but it cannot be used to draw circles or
arcs. Both legs have needles that are used to “divide” or mark distances along a line or a
curve.

Fig. 22 Divider

How is the Divider used?

Divider is operated the same way as a compass: adjust the legs and
pinch its handle using your fingers. Apply slight pressure on the needle
that touches the paper. See Figure 23.

Fig.23. A divider works the same way as a compass, and is controlled with your fingers.

15
15. Template is a flat, thin piece of plastic that has numerous cutouts for drawing of repetitive
patterns. Examples are Architectural and Circular templates. Architectural template has
cutouts of scaled plan of architectural furniture and fixture. Circular template has circular
cutouts in varying sizes, from 1 up to 36mm in diameter.

Fig. 24 Template

What is the Template’s function?

A Template enables you draw a pattern for example, a circle, faster

and easier. It eliminates the need you to draw a draft all over again. A
template lets you choose a pattern, its size, and simply trace the cutout
with a pencil or technical pen. Circular template is especially useful in
drawing small circles.

16. French Curve is a see-through plastic made up of succession of geometric curves such
as ellipse.

Fig. 25 French Curve

What is the French Curve’s function?

A French Curve is used when an irregular curve other than a circle has
to be drawn. It has a bevelled edge that can be used for inking.

 What I Can Do

Directions : Drafting is used in the manufacturing industry. Before a prototype is built and
before a product is mass produced they all undergo a design process or drawing.
May it be cars, furniture, appliances, and electronic gadgets. School buildings,
churches, hospitals, and terminals also undertake the same procedure. Before they
were built, there is a planning and drawing involved. Now go outside and observe
your own house. Notice its parts, like walls, roof, doors, and windows. Assume that
you are a draftsman or even an architect, planning your house. Write down the
appropriate tool that you will utilize to draw your own home.
