LECTURE 04

FITTING PROCESS

1
Introduction

 Machine tools can produce work at a faster rate, but there are
occasions when components are processed at the bench.
 Sometimes, it becomes necessary to replace or repair
component which must be fit accurately with another
component on reassembly.
 The accuracy of work done depends upon the experience and
skill of the fitter.

2
What is bench work?

 The term ‘bench work’ refers to the production of


components by hand on the bench, whereas fitting deals
which the assembly of mating parts, through removal of
metal, to obtain the required fit.
 Both the bench work and fitting requires the use of number of
simple hand tools and considerable manual efforts

Holding tools
Bench vice
 It is fixed to the bench with bolts and nuts. The vice body

consists of two main parts, fixed jaw and movable jaw.


 When the vice handle is turned in a clockwise direction, the

sliding jaw forces the work against the fixed jaw.


 Jaw plates are made of hardened steel. Serrations on the jaws

ensure a good grip.


 Jaw caps made of soft material are used to protect finished

surfaces, gripped in the vice.

Marking tools
Scriber
 A Scriber is a slender steel tool, used to scribe or mark lines

on metal work pieces.


 It is made of hardened and tempered High Carbon Steel.

 The Tip of the scriber is generally ground at to .

Marking tools

Punches
 These are used for making indentations on the scribed lines,

to make them visible clearly. These


 are made of high carbon steel. A punch is specified by its

length and diameter


 Dot Punch is used to locate center of holes and to provide a

small center mark for divider point.


 Center Punch is like the dot punch, except that it is ground to

a conical point having 90° included angle. It is used to mark


the location of the holes to be drilled.

Measuring tools

 Vernier calipers, steel rulers are used as preferred and


requirement of the task.

Cutting tools

Hack saw
 The Hack Saw is used for cutting metal by hand.

 It consists of a frame, which holds a thin blade, firmly in

position.
 Hacksaw blade is specified by the number of teeth for

centimeter. Hacksaw blades have a number of teeth ranging


from 5 to 15 per centimeter (cm).

 Blades having lesser number of teeth per cm are used for
cutting soft materials like aluminum, brass and bronze.
 Blades having larger number of teeth per centimeter are used
for cutting hard materials like steel and cast Iron.

 Hacksaw blades are classified as
(i) All hard
(ii) flexible type.
 The all-hard blades are made of H.S.S, hardened and
tempered throughout to retain their cutting edges longer.
 These are used to cut hard metals.
 These blades are hard and brittle and can break easily by
twisting and forcing them into the work while sawing.

12

 Flexible blades are made of H.S.S or low alloy steel but only
the teeth are hardened, and the rest of the blade is soft and
flexible.
 These are suitable for use by un‐skilled or semi‐skilled
persons.

Finishing tools
Files
 Filing is one of the methods of removing small amounts of

material from the surface of a metal part.


 A file is hardened steel too, having small parallel rows of

cutting edges or teeth on its surfaces.

“V” fitting
 A “V” fitting typically refers to a joint or connection where two pieces
come together at a V-shaped angle.
