In wedge work, which dimension is adjusted?

• A. Vertical Pitch
• B. Cable Tension
• C. Lateral Pitch
• D. Surface Roughness

Answer: (C)

Wedge work relies on adjusting how the wedge tilts in the side-to-side direction to achieve proper alignment between surfaces. That side-to-side tilt is called lateral pitch, and it’s the dimension you adjust to seat the wedge correctly and control the contact plane. Vertical tilt would change the up-down inclination, which isn’t the adjustment typically used for arranging the wedge’s position. Cable tension concerns the load rather than a geometric dimension, and surface roughness is a material property, not an adjustable dimension.
