2. Metal handle-end of a file. The tang fits into a wooden or plastic file handle.






3. A metal tool with a sharpened - beveled edge used to cut and shape wood - stone - or metal.






4. Exactly adjusted; any piece of material sawed of cut to be rectangle with equal dimensions on all sides; a tool used to check angles.






5. A square whose legs are fixed at a right angle.






6. Describing a surface made smooth by using a tool called a plane.






7. A claw hammer with a slightly rounded - or convex - face.
