Question: 1 / 400

Which of these does NOT make wood chips when it is used?

Auger

The correct answer is that the auger does not make wood chips when it is used. An auger is a tool designed primarily for boring holes in wood or other materials. Its function is to create a cylindrical hole, and while it does remove material as it drills, the removal is in the form of long shavings or spirals rather than small, distinct chips.

In contrast, a chisel removes material by slicing away portions of wood, which can lead to the creation of smaller chips. A drill press, similarly, operates like a hand drill, producing shavings from the material being drilled. A plane is specifically designed to smooth or shape wood by removing thin layers, which also results in chips. Therefore, among the choices provided, only the auger is primarily associated with creating a hole rather than producing wood chips.
