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.

FITTING TOOLS

Bench Vice
The bench vice is a holding device that is used to hold the workpiece when performing
Filling and Cutting on the job. Bench vice has two jaws one is fixed (Stationary jaw) and
another is movable (Sliding jaw). Sliding jaw slide over the slide face, when the handle is
rotated in the clockwise direction it is subjected to tight by mean of the thread which is
mounted on the rod. The body is not movable to any direction is called a fixed body and

three parts, Handles, Hacksaw frame, and blade. The blade is made of high-speed steel
or high carbon steel and the frame is made of mild steel. The blade is adjusted with the

Fitting Shop Practical File

PROCEDURE:
1. To check the dimensions of a given mild steel piece.

2. One edge of the given is filled to straightness with rough and smooth files and
checked with a try square.

3. Adjacent is also filled such that it is square to the first edge and checked with a try
square.

4. Wet chalk is applied on one side of the flat and dried for making.

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 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.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Must use the try square for perpendicularity.

2. Finishing off the job will be always with a smooth file.

3. Marking is done without parallax error.

RESULT: The Square cutting is done successfully
