Fitting Shop Tools

INTRODUCTION OF FITTING SHOP

The term Fitting is related to the assembly of parts, after bringing the dimension or shape to the required size or form, in order to secure the necessary fit. The operations required for the same are usually carried out on a workbench, hence the work is done on the bench is called Fitting work.
Benchwork and fitting play an important role in engineering. Although in today’s industries most of the work is done by automatic machines that produce jobs with good accuracy still it requires some hand operations called fitting operations. A fitting shop worker is called Fitter.

5. The mark on the job according to a given design, using scriber or odd leg caliper and steel rule.
 
6. using the dot punch is made along the marked lines.
7. The excess materials were removed from the remaining two edges with try square level up to half of the marked dots.
 
8. Finally, buts are removed by the filling on the surface of the fitting job.
