ABOUT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO’S & DONT’S
1. Wear shoes to protect your feet.

2. Don’t wear wrist watch while working.
3. Beware of the live electrical wires don’t attempt or try
to touch them.
4. Use hand glows / Welding shield.
5. Handle the tools / machines as per the instruction given
by the
Faculty.
6. Use proper/ right tools.
7. Keep the tools in the right place else that may hurt you.
8. Use fire extinguisher to put off the flame.
9. Do not touch or pour water on burning live electric wire.
10. Use first aid box or inform the faculty for need of
medical assistance.
Introduction to filling
The term filling, is related to 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 work
bench, hence the term bench work is also added with the
name fitting.
A file is a tool used to remove fine amounts of material
from a workpiece. It is common
in woodworking, metalworking, and other similar trade
and hobby tasks. Most are hand tools, made of a case
hardened steel bar of rectangular, square, triangular, or
round cross-section, with one or more surfaces cut with
sharp, generally parallel teeth. A narrow, pointed tang is
common at one end, to which a handle may be fitted.[1]
A rasp is a form of file with distinct, individually cut teeth
used for coarsely removing large amounts of material.[2]
Files have also been developed with abrasive surfaces,
such as natural or synthetic diamond grains or silicon
carbide, allowing removal of material that would dull or
resist metal, such as ceramic.
FILLING TOOLS:
Fitting shop tools are classified as below:
 Work Holding Devices/ Clamping Tools.

 Measuring and Marking Tools.
 Cutting Tools.
 Striking Tools.
 Drilling Tools.
 Threading Tools.
WORK HOLDING DEVICES /CLAMPING TOOLS:
1. Work Bench
A fitting process can be done at various places, but most of
the important operations of fitting are generally carried
out on a table called work bench.
The work bench is a strong, heavy and rigid table made up
of hard wood.
2. BENCH VICE
It is firmly fixed to the bench with the help of nuts and
bolts. It consists of a cast Iron body and cast iron jaws. Two
jaw plates are fitted on both the jaws. The holding surface
of the jaw plates is knurled in order to increase the
gipping. Jaw plates are made up of carbon steel and are
wear resistant. One jaw is fixed to the body and the
second slides on a square threaded screw with the help of
a handle.
The jaws are opened up to required length; job is placed in
the two jaws and is fully tightened with the help of handle.
Handle is used to move the movable jaw
II. MEASURING TOOLS
1. Steel Rule
These are made up of stainless steel and are available in
many sizes ranging from 1/2 ft. to 2 ft. These are marked in
inches or millimeters . All the faces are machined true.
The edges of steel rule should be protected from rough
handling.
2. Calipers
These are generally used to measure the inside or outside

diameters. Different types are:
i. Outside Caliper: It is used to measure the outside
dimensions.
ii. Inside Caliper: It is used to measure the inside

dimensions.
iii. Spring Caliper: Spring is provided to apply the pressure
and lock nut is provided to lock any desired position.
iv. Hermaphrodite, Jenny or Odd leg Caliper: One leg is
bent at the tip inwardly and the other has a straight
pointed end. It is used to scribe lines parallel to the
straight edges.
3-Vernier Caliper
It is used for measuring the outer dimensions of round,

flat, square components and also the inner size of the
holes and bore. A narrow blade is used to measure the
depth of bar slots etc. The reading accuracy in metric
system is 0.02 mm and British system it is 0.001. It is made
of stainless steel.
CUTTING TOOLS
1. Hacksaw
Hacksaw is used for cutting of rods, bars, pipes, flats etc. It
consists of a frame, which is made from mild steel. The
blade is placed inside the frame and is tightened with the
help of a flange nut. The blade is made up of high carbon
steel or high speed steel.
2. Files
Files are multi points cutting tools. It is used to remove the
material by rubbing it on the metals. Files are available in a
number of sizes, shapes and degree of coarseness.
Type of files
a. Flat file: This file has parallel edges for about two-thirds
of the length and then it tapers in width and thickness. The
faces are double cut while the edges are single cut.
b. Hand file: for a hand file the width is constant
throughout, but the thickness tapers as given in flat file.
Both faces are double cut and one edge is single cut. The
remaining edge is kept uncut in order to use for filing a
right-angled corner on one side only.
c. Square file: It has a square cross-section. It is parallel for
two-thirds of its length and then tapers towards the tip. It
is double cut on all sides. It is used for filing square corners
and slots.
d. Triangular file: It has width either parallel throughout or
up to middle and then tapered towards the tip. Its section
is triangular (equilateral) and the three faces are double
cut and the edges single cut. It is used for filing square
shoulders or comers and for sharpening wood working

saws.
Methods of filing
The following are the two commonly used methods of
filing:
1. Cross-filing 2. Draw filing.
Cross - filing. Refer Fig. (a).

This method is used for efficient removal of maximum
amount of metal in the shortest possible time. It may be
noted that the file must remain horizontal throughout the
stroke (long, slow and steady) with pressure only applied
on the forward motion.
Draw filing. Refer Fig. (b)
This method is used to remove file marks and for finishing

operations. Here, the file is gripped as close to the work as
possible between two hands. In this filing method, a fine
cut file with a flat face should be used.
